I've been looking on craigslist for a car and i found a 1997 cadillac catera for just under $2000. It only has ~50,000 miles on it and i drove it a little bit today, it was smooth and it didn't seem to have any issues mechanically. The issue is that it's air conditioning is busted which is a deal breaker in Florida. Is it likely that i could get the air fixed and have it stay functioning? I don't know anything about so i was hoping you guys could help me out.
I can't find the specific ad but there's no exterior damage so pic somewhat related.

what seems to be wrong with the AC? Does the blower work and it just doesn't blow cold? Not even a tiny bit cold? If it doesn't blow cold enough but everything else works, a can of refrigerant from your local auto parts store can fix it. However, it could be something more serious.

Dude go for it. AC isn't something unfixable.
High change it just need a recharge, tell the guy to use UV dyed refrigerant so in case it's actually leaking you can fix it quick and easy.

I just texted the guy and he said he tried recharging it. He thinks it's leak, is that something that can be fixed relatively cheap. My budget is $4000 so if i con have ac im willing to get it fixed

A/C work could cost alot. If he's tried charging it himself he could have blown something out. It's worth it if you don't mind spending the cash to fix it.

If its the compressor it will be fucking expensive to replace.
If it's a leak, most recharge cans have leak fixer in them or it could be a whole system replacement.
