99 Merc no ABS Sign In

1999 Mercury
Grand Marquis LS
61,000 miles
4.6 engine
Auto Trans

I'm looking at buying this 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis and the only thing I can find wrong is the ABS doesn't function at all, the seller says he's been told it needs a computer and the $400 price tag has kept him from doing it as it runs and stops just fine just no ABS. What is the proper name for the computer that controls ABS and is it just plug and play in a 99 model with analog speedo & gauges?

You should have the vehicle checked by a professional technician BEFORE purchase, the SMALL fee is money well spent.
There MAY be a issue getting vehicle inspections .... depending on local laws.

why would the seller NOT repair a 400$ issue? He now must negotiate from +400$ lower price...
