Car had been leaking transmission oil for a little bit but it got to a quart every week. Cooler and Condensor was completely clogged, and engine according to mechanic was not getting any airflow. Condensor and completely new hoses totaled around 1200-1300. Replaced radiator at no extra labor cost due to them having to take it out (chose to do this as they were there already). Mechanic was very surprised my car did not overheat or my transmission overheat. The only reason it did not I would say is because I regularly changed my coolant and transmission fluid before the issues arose.
I love the car and has been pretty damn reliable before this. This combined with other issues with car had a total cost of $2900. Again I would not have gone out of my way to pay for it if I did not like the car and know it can last for a few more years.
However this was a pain in the ass, and a condensor is usually something that should last the life of a vehicle.
