I sure wouldn't buy a brand new anything nowadays. What I

think of right now too. Most likely if I have to replace my
old 1982 truck someday it will be with something else old.

I certainly cannot afford a new vehicle but any replacement I buy
must have airconditioning - there is nothing worse than a stinking
hot car on a 40+C/103+F day. Currently a 93 Patrol.

May Dad tried to find a new car without air conditioning in
the early 90's. No such animal... he ended up getting one
with air, power steering and brakes which he didn't want
either.

I doubt if this has changed much, but I really have no use
for air conditioning. It would only be nice for maybe 5 days
a year (or less) that I would be driving it. Hard to justify
the extra cost for so little benefit.
