I want to get some idea of what I'm dealing with money-wise before taking it to the dealership.

Can also be caused by low refrigerant.
If so, it could mean a leak.
Estimated anywhere from $120 for replacing refrigerant w/ dye test for leaks w/ servicing to $700 if your compressor needs to be replaced.

I bought a used compressor from a salvage yard for my 96q. try www.car-part.com. I think I paid $70 w/shipping (most yard will include in their price if you ask). It will then be ~2-3hr job depending on the mechanics familiarity with it. I think my recarge was $35.
Good luck!
