So i’m going to look at a 92 sc400 with 140k miles tomorrow, listed for $5k and ran a vin check, no accidents, owner said ac does not blow cold though, what should i be looking for? Related to the ac and also just in general

Hard to know for sure but compressor is always a likely point of failure. If you made a deal on the car and the a/c has never been serviced, the receiver/drier will need to be changed if breaking the system open and to do it right flush the system. Not a cheap undertaking if you don’t have the skills yourself.
