Buying a rental house with mismatched AC coils

[Nathan Vu]

I just got an inspection done on a house I’m planning to buy to rent it out. The main issue is that the interior AC unit is old...installed in 1996 while the condenser outside was installed in 2017. The cooling output doesn’t get too cold due to the evaporator coil doesn’t match with the condenser so it’ll have to run a lot more to get to the temp inside. I’m sure the inside unit will have to be replaced eventually and it’s gonna cost 4.5-6k to replace the inside. And I just found out this house was previously back out because seller wouldn’t replace the interior evaporator coil (which basically replacing the whole inside unit). With that being said, would you back out or try to negotiate down the sale price? How much would you negotiate? The roof of the house is 1.5yo so that’s something I wouldn’t have to worry about.
