2000 I30 A/C compressor, New vs remanufactured

[matsie17]

This is the first time I have ever used a forum! I need to replace a noisy A/C clutch. Dealer recommends replacing compressor and dryer. I need help to determine if remanufactured is ok and where is the best place to buy these parts? Any idea what is a fair price? I live in the East Bay, SF area. Thanx.

Nissan remanufactured should be fine. if you're buying aftermarket, the NAPA gold units generally hold up a little better, but I doubt there's much of a difference.
