Hi all,
I’m a new owner of a 2002 LX470 with 48k miles. I’ve spent $10k buying the car, $2.5k on new tires already. So, a total of $12.5k.
I was driving one day and I had a multitude of different lights turn onABS, VSC, TRAC and BRAKE lights.
I took it to the dealership and they told me my ABS Control Module has failed and needs replacement. The repairs cost around $4000. Is this car worth spending another $4k on top of what I’ve already spent for it? I don’t know much about cars so I’m not able to buy the part online and re-install it myself (besides, apparently a new ABS module needs to be re-programmed to the car and I’m not sure how I would do that).
The car has been sitting in one place for 5-6 years before I purchased it 3 months ago. My questions are: is it worth spending $4k replacing this module? Will the car last 4-5 years if I do so? If it’s not worth spending $4k to replace the module, do you have any suggestions as to what I should do?
Thank you in advance for your replies.
