its really heavy (200lbs) so expect to pay probably 100$ to ship it.

it really doesnt say how cold it gets either.

Their maybe thermostat that will not let get down lower?
Ask the seller if he knows the compressor size?
About the leak that depends what is leaking.

Yeah that high temp is a combonation of thermostat, metering device and refrigerant used.Modified accordingly it should get at least -30c.Just disabling the thermostat might be able to get you that.

true. but you have to think that hes buying this pre made unit so he doesnt have to modify much. if you have to recharge, cut, ect why not just get a comp from the junk yard and get -30? and it doesnt weight 200lbs ;)

Yeah the shipping is killer, esspecially along with the price of the unit.Just wanted to make it clear that it is suitable for low temps, but not worth it.Unless you could do a local pickup.
