so i changed the filter, still the a/c is not ice cold. not sure what to think? the car was bought from the chevy dealer and sat on the lot for a while. I dont know if that could be the reason???

Yes I would do that next it is a step process of why it is not super cold . If it is still is not COLD I would think it is the condenser filter plugging up
