Default A/C Condenser needed

Well, does anyone know where is the cheapest place to buy an A/C condenser for an 02?

I was driving to Oklahoma Friday night and nailed a racoon or something, he tore up my grill, cracked my bumper and dented the sh*t out of my condenser. Of course, all the freon leaked out and that is the most urgent thing to replace now. I don't want the lines to dry up.

Oh yeah, and the little guy I hit, I saw him in my rear view afterward still running around on all fours. Stopped to look at the car and the Police roll up, said they swerved around him too. No blood and guts on my car, so I figured I just stunned him. 2000lb car going 70 and a 15lb animal, thats one hell of a stun...

Make sure you replace your dryer as well since the system is open.

I was always told 48-72 hours and it's probably a good idea to do so, plus it's not expensive so just call it cheap insurance.

Well i can order a new one for $276, and of course I'd like to pay as little as possible You tell me what you want.

Also Cosmos, the dryer/reciever is $96 from the dealer, not exactly cheap to me, but oh well, if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. I always tell everyone at my office "do it once and do it right"

Geeze, that's pretty pricey for a dryer. Did you try autozone or napa for a generic one that fits your car? Also try one of the online honda parts websites, they usually have substantial discounts over the dealer.
