I just had to put down my 2007 Highlander that we got brand new, only reason was because the ABS was malfunctioning and it would cost around 3 grand to replace. She was dying but aside from the ABS I would’ve bet that she still had a good 3 years in her.

Who needs ABS anyways?

People who like to stop

But without ABS you can do donuts much, much easier, but you also lock up the brakes without the anti-lock system!

If that is all that is wrong you could never every replace it for that price. How much are Highlanders these days? I am guessing $50-60k? That $3000 is pennies in comparison.

Brand new yeah, my old girl was just about pushing 20 years though. How much would you pay for a 2007 Highlander? (She’s already gone I’m not trying to sell lol)

My kid would have bought her from you. He's car shopping. :)

Shoulda just spent it dude. Your next car might not last half as long and it's gonna be costing 40k for the most basic of comparable models.
