Whoopdido for you. Sorry not all teenagers had your all knowing wisdom. He is a very intelligent person who has shown better judgment on many things than you have on here.

A more experienced family member should have walked him through it.
Well, my husband was at work and no one else in his family would have taken him, so that wasn't an option.

You and your husband should have talked to him about this before he bought the car. An inexperienced 19 year who walks into a used car place is like chumming the water for sharks.
We didn't know he was buying the car. We knew he was looking, but didn't know he found one and was going to look at it.

Used cars are sold as is. Which means anything that is wrong with it is on him to fix. He should have taken it to an independent mechanic to have it inspected.
The oranges of the island are like blazing fire
Amongst the emerald boughs
And the lemons are like the paleness of a lover
Who has spent the night crying.

A good reputable place will take a look and fix it.

Legally, dealerships have the law on their side.

I don't know why you even bother asking for advice when all you do is argue with every F***ing person who responds.

Is the compressor cycling over and over close together? It may need to be vacuumed and charged. Ask the dealership if they will do it.

A mechanic at the dealership did check the car out before he bought it. He was told that everything would be in working order. He bought it two weeks ago, I find it hard to believe it just stopped working since then.
It does have air conditioning.. It just isn't working. A mechanic could have told him if his ac was working even if it was cold out.

"as is" means exactly that. Sorry he is going to have to resolve the issue on his own.
