Considering '92 245, but no a/c...? 200 1992

I'm considering taking the plunge into Volvo ownership. The week before Christmas my car was stolen, and I don't really like hardly any new cars out there, and so I might just get what I really WANT which is a 240 wagon.

The problem with the best bet that I have my eye on is that reportedly the a/c stopped blowing cold air. It seems like a good deal otherwise. If I take this to a mechanic, will they be able to easily identify if this is going to be an easy fix vs. a costly major repair? I'm in the south, so a/c is really not optional, although I can wait a couple more months to get it running.

Any other key issues to look for in deciding whether to purchase this year/model?

I'm not mechanical (just don't have the time), so I will be relying on mechanics. Is such an older car not the right choice for me? My responsible, practical side says I should get a newer car, but the fun side of me would love to get this wagon.

Thanks for your time and opinions!

Cheers
