Default I am looking at a car whose AC does not blow cold air, but I am told does blow hot air (for winter)?

Is is this an indicator of a serious problem? What could be the cause? How much would it cost to repair?I intend on taking the car to a respected and reputable mechanic prior to any commitment to purchase. I am just curious what some of you out there may know.Thanks

That means your air conditing system leaked ouy all the freon. could be a simple fix or could cost hundreds.

the HEATER should blow hot air in the winter, not the AC.that is how they design cars.To repair it - depends on whether the problem is low/no coolant, missing hoes, or no AC at all.

Wow, my husband just solved this same problem on his Honda Accord LX for advice for a mere $20. There is a lever on the right air OUT. If you can reach with your finger in the vent you can feel for it. Slide it over and you get AC. In the fall, slide it back and you get heat. Be sensitive, have the guy show you how. Don't get ripped off by someone who wants to take out your entire dash for $200. You can do it . Don't force anything.

Depends on the problem, could be an easy fix (needs refrigerant) or something large like a bad compressor or expansion valve. Just depends on the problem.
