Need Advice

I was watching a YouTube video with the car wizard who for years highly praised PAs and basically any car with the 3800 engine . Well his video was about ABS modules no longer being available if you need it replaced . He said the item has been discontinued ( no longer in production) and he no longer recommends these cars.
Im 56 and was pretty much hoping to drive this car to my grave . I've spent thousands keeping everything up to date and my next step was to have the seats reupholstered . Now I'm thinking I should hold back on having the seats reupholstered . What are your thoughts on not being able to have the ABS replaced if it goes bad? Is there a workaround for this? I'm sure we could get one from a junk yard but how long will that one last?🤔

If you plan on driving your car for another 10 to 20 years then you should go ahead and get the seats done. I have owned 6 or 7 of these big 3800 powered cars over the last 22 years and have NEVER had an issue with the ABS unit.

I saw that one, too, over the weekend.

While he may have an opinion that is valued, I'm still gonna keep my 2005 and maybe buy another one someday. I sure don't want a Lucerne with the VVT V8!
