ASR is like an evil siamese twin - insidiously and profoundly attached to your car. It is very complex and so integrated into subsystems of your car that there really isn't any way to get rid of it - other than selling the car. I believe this is the real purpose of Ebay Motors - selling ASR cars sight unseen to unsuspecting rubes. The best advice on ASR is not to buy a car that has it. Big help, aren't I?
