Is she worth it? ABS failure at 250k

Only you can judge your financial position to determine if a repair is worth it. The odds of another hv battery repair is high and a replacement engine could be in that vehicle's future.

New brake booster assembly parts are recommended since its quite a gamble to use this gen3 used part. A trained Toyota Hybrid tech is given 5 hours for this repair. It would tough to do it twice.

A used part may not work from a mechanical or electrical standpoint.

Second a used part can easily be the wrong part as there were at least two different for a 2012 v and 2 others for a 2012 hatchback. Plus the same housing number is used on all four 2012 versions and other years as well.

The only way to find the right used part requires the donor car's vin which can then be used in Toyota's Electronic Parts Catalog to verify the part number.

From Toyota's tsb:
The part number for the remedy part for this campaign should be verified by inputting the vehicle’s VIN into the Electronic Parts Catalog. Use the service part number referenced in the Electronic Parts Catalogue to identify the correct campaign part number to order the required remedy part. DO NOT order the service part number, those part numbers WILL NOT be accepted on a claim made under this campaign.

 

Hard to say BUT keep in mind if you do buy the brand new parts those parts will have resale value if/when down the road you decide its time to retire your V.

Yup.
Not a doubt about it.
If the car 'stays fixed' for a year - then your 'car payment' is less than $170 a month.
You'll have to fix it before you sell it - or take a big hit WHEN you sell it if "change owner" light is on.
Do you LOVE the car like you say or just 'like it a little' when its running?
Your call....

The REAL question is what the heck do you do AFTER it's fixed??

...a Leaf???

That's in interesting flex because it would seem you're switching from a midsized station wagon sans car payment to a subcompact BEV with a car payment.........in NC.
Usually it's only 'halfbacks' (*) that do that....
I once called the 1st gen Leaf a DOT approved golf cart with climate control - and those first gen cars were not really that much better that snarky description.
HOWEVER!!!!
(comma)
The third gen Leaf has a nearly useful range, it only looks as goofy as all the OTHER small import cars and since BEVs are about as polarizing as politics at least half of the nation would rather vote for the other half's political candidates than drive one of the things.
For a new 'subcompact SUV' (hatchback with normal sized roofline and tires) I'd recommend a '27 Bolt over a '26 Leaf - because of the larger dealership network, greater charging options, and the bow tie on the front of the vehicle - which combines with the lower MSRP to yield a better value.

If you're going to go with a used BEV - then may GOD have mercy on your soul.

(*) Half-back.
People that drive to Florida from the Northeast and only make it halfway back...

 

Quite a send-up!

 

It's worth it even if you have to pay to have it done by a dealer.

The new cars are less reliable and connected to the manufacturer and the dealers through the telmatics.

Given to the the high price of both good used and new vehicles and the lockout of non dealer tethered repair with complicated electronics, $2,000 is chump change.
