Actually, I never had any problems finding parts for mine. They were usually quite cheap. The big advantage of getting the newer ones is that they are a more simple under the hood as far as emission controls, and are TBI throttle body Fuel Injected. Inherently, they tend to get better mileage and power. Mine was only getting about 9mpg.
This one did not have ABS, I don't really need it out here in the desert as much as the colder climates. It would have been a plus, but wasn't a deal breaker for me. I downshift to slow my vehicle when it is standard. As far as white goes, It was better than the other ones they had that mostly consisted of yellow <pukes>.
