Cory...

Get a used one... on my old Ford I dropped $40 for a compressor from a "Pick an' Steal" ....er... "Pick an' Pull"

When looking for a used one, make sure it hasn't been sitting outside for a long time and preferaly (sp?) still hooked to the entire system. The one I pulled is quiet and works great. If you pull it yourself spin the clutch to see if it sounds okay and such. It was $300 new from the parts store of $40 on a gamble...not much to think aboot there.

Also www.car-part.com has all the used nonsense.
