I recently did the compressor in my 20V, the dealer wanted $950 for a new 
one. Used ones with clutch were running about $125.  Even if it only 
lasted the 3 summer months before leaking, and I have to replace it every 
year, thats about 10 years of used ones for one new one which probably 
wouldnt last ten years!!  So far its been great though, have used it a 
LOT this year and it's still 41 degrees! You just have to be selective on 
which compressor to put in.
