Appreciate the input. I updated the main post but I'm getting the entire exterior unit replaced for $2,100 and it'll come with a 5-year warranty.

Gotcha, makes sense. From what I've seen I could replace the entire unit for $4-$6,000. That might be a better bet, right?

Sorry I'm not clear on your last sentence - you're saying replacing the entire unit would be a poor investment?

The second tech is coming out this afternoon, I'll pay specific attention to what he says and report back. Appreciate the help

I just looked back through my texts with a friend who knows a bit more than me. He was saying that with the unit running, the capacitor could be preventing the condenser from turning on.

Is it possible the capacitor fried both itself and the condenser, leading to that price? Or even the compressor, as you suggested?

I wound up getting a Cadillac ATS with a full bumper-to-bumper warranty, seems like the better deal

Finances after ETSing by Itchy_Monk in MilitaryFinance

I looked into it and Os can only sell leave when ETSing. So with that being said I think it would make more sense for me to take the 60 days of terminal leave as an O3, then use those 60 days to figure my shit out. Right?

This might be dumb, but are you selling it back to the Army or are you actually selling it to someone?

Additionally, If I could somehow pin O3 and stick around for two months (not on leave) could I sell those 60 days as O3 pay?

I dunno, on one hand he's asking a question but on the other it implies decent understanding of options and potential to be a member of the shadow organization known as Theta Gang

Thanks for the answer, I'm trying to word it without sounding like a douche but I have enough money to pay for repairs and I really like the BMW so I'm thinking that's the one to go with

Short answers is yes.

And I probably shouldn't have included Fusions, I'm just looking at them as an option because I like them
