Even at $1,700 for a throttle actuator, I can't imagine a scenario where it wouldn't be worth it. Depending on the mileage, condition, and location, your car has to be worth somewhere between approx. $7,000 and $10,000.

Besides, who is going to buy a car with an ASR idiot light on and in limp mode?
