" when I tried the A/C there was no cooling, had
it inspected and found out it had no refrigerant and was told due to
the age
of the unit , about 18 years old it, was not feasible to try and find
the
leak to repair it.We're still trying to settle that with the lawyers.
If the
vendor has nothing to hide or fear they shouldn't object to some sort
of "
ass covering".


Let me get this right. You bought a house with a A/C system that is 18
years old, had it inspected in December thought they couldn't run it,
with a closing date in April, find out in June that the A/C doesn't
work and you want compensation and are wasting time with lawyers?
Any home inspector will tell you that an 18 year old A/C system is at
the end of it's usefull life, whether it's running or not. Plus anyone
could have turned it on during a walk through in April to verify if it
runs. So, talk about ass covering, I don't see where the seller owes
you anything.
