    I don't scrap vehicles but over the years I've had to purchase ABS/transmission/main computers for different vehicles. I usually pick one up off ebay because of the cost new/refurbished. Many times the price you will get will vary greatly depending on the model. I had some early 90's accords. They are known for bad transmission computers. I'm sure with other models the failure rate is lower, so the price was lower. You just have to do some research. Many times the sellers ask for the old unit back as a core, which is something to keep in mind.

    jg- Heck I'd take $40 on core for this if it could be had. Did you Ebay the part or sell it to a core buyer?

    I have an ebay store. What is the part number on it?

    Also its not a core, odds are they didnt decide to part out the car because the abs went out. Odds are its a good used resalable part. The term core typically refers to a nonworking part that can be refurbished and resold, or a part that has significant scrap value.
