IML: 1990 Imperial brakes- help needed fast!

[<jtpoltrock@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all-

I am currently in negotiations regarding the purchase of a 1990 Imperial with 55k miles.  The car is in very good condition but it has, according to the current owner, had a series of problems with the ABS brake system.  The current owner has spent $1,200 on the brake system over the last 12 months and vowed not to spend a penny more.  Occasionally when applied the pedal suddenly drops to the floor.  The owner has been told by his mechanic that repair/rebuild parts are not available for this car.  My question to you 90-93 Imperial owners is- can the ABS booster and master cylinder be rebuilt for a resonable price?  And if so, who does this work?

Your quick response(s) would be greatly appreciated as the '90 owner is shopping for a new Chevy Aveo TODAY (Friday, 11/24) and is seriosuly considering trading the Imperial in.  If the repair of this brake system is going to cost me an arm and a leg I will pass on the Imperial, but if I can repair it for a reasonable price (200-400) I will buy the car.
