Selling My 2012 Toyota Prius After ABS System Failure

It’s never easy to part ways with a car, especially one that has served you well, like my 2012 Toyota Prius. However, significant mechanical issues can sometimes necessitate a change, a decision I made after experiencing an ABS system failure that resulted in my brakes locking up while driving. After consulting a mechanic, I found out that the repair costs could range between $1,500 and $3,000, depending on whether I used new or used parts. Ultimately, I decided to purchase another vehicle and would like to sell my Prius to someone who might be interested in fixing it up.

Vehicle Details

This car has been driven for 176,451 miles and still has a lot of potential for the right buyer.

Pickup Information

The vehicle is available for pickup in Studio City, but please note that it will require towing due to the ABS issue. If you need assistance with the towing arrangement, I’m open to discussing options.

Recent Improvements

The vehicle has several recent improvements that showcase its care prior to the ABS failure:

• Purchased a new set of tires less than a year ago.
• Windshield wipers were replaced within the last year.

Condition Overview

While the car was in excellent driving condition before the ABS issue, it does have a few cosmetic imperfections, including:

• Some paint damage from sun exposure.
• A few dents and scrapes on the body.

Why Consider This Car?

This 2012 Toyota Prius presents a fantastic opportunity for someone mechanically inclined or looking for a project. The vehicle drove perfectly fine prior to the ABS issue, and after repairs, it could serve effectively for years to come.

Brakes locked up while I was driving. Mechanic said it was an issue with the ABS system and could be fixed from anywhere between $1,500 and $3k depending on used vs new parts. I ended up buying another car and hoping to sell this to someone who wants to fix it up and give it a new lease on life. Drove totally fine before the ABS issue.
