General Comments:
I hate driving, but I love driving this car. It redefines Merc owners.
I never thought I would ever want a Mercedes until I laid my eyes on a majestic white W114. So would I ever buy another car from Mercedes? Only if it's a /8.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

If you like it that much, and air conditioning would make you happy, just go for it. As good as the car is, it is also something which has to serve your needs. I doubt it would depreciate the car that much. In many other countries, aftermarket air conditioners were installed on many cars, even very expensive ones, simply because they were costly options from the factory.
