I'm sorry to hear about your situation.
New units have the same defect as the old units and they eventually fail. Used units are on borrowed time as they will eventually fail as well.
Keep this information in case you need it.

All the ABS control units (Installed on 96 and newer 850, 70 series and S80 models) will eventually fail after they reach 65,000 miles or 5 years. The average is 85,000 miles and/or 6 years for failures.
A dealer will charge from $60.0 to $120.00 to diagnose the problem and about 95% of the cases the mechanic will recommend to replace the ABS control unit.

Here's more information on this issue and a replacement alternative.
