Car should be good for 10 years/120,000 miles more.  Do you want ABS or not?

if you read my last reply then you would have the answer , either pay to fix it , or pay for a new car , yes brakes need replacing eventually .

Depends on the overall condition of the vehicle. My eleven year old car has 28,000 miles on it. I plan on keeping it at least another five years.

The main difference between an ABS and non-ABS braking system is that with ABS, you have wheel sensors that can go bad and the ABS module itself that can go bad. With the car I have, replacing the ABS module and all four wheel sensors would run about $1,200.

If it doesn't pull L or R, stops correctly and evenly, it can wait. JMHO

That depends on why the ABS light came on. Have the ABS codes read with a real scan tool. OBD II code readers don't work for ABS codes. Depending on what your vehicle is it may just be a $30 wheel speed sensor gone bad.
