Thanks for the feedback everyone.  I checked with Hancock's in Texas.
They only offer rebuilt compressors, but they are at least the correct
brand - Zexel which is what was put in there at the factory.  Their
price is about $350.  I like the fact that it is Zexel, not some brand I
never heard of.  Two companies I talked with stopped selling these units
because they have had 2 of them returned 3 times with bad bearings (I
didn't get the brand they were rebuilding).  Hancock's says they have
been selling them for several years, with the 1 year warranty, and have
not had returns.

So, now my choices are:
Dealer - $1,258 - new Zexel
Blau - $795 - new FourSeasons
Hancock's - $350 rebuilt Zexel

I'd be up for a GP, but I don't want to wait 4 weeks to get everything
organized.  I won't need it much after that.

Well S-Car-Listers; which is the best option?

leaving for vacation to NC tonight (taking the BMW with cold A/C)

PS.  Keith, I didn't check out Compressor International since I didn't
see this email until I got home today so I don't know what they have to
offer at this time.
