I've already got all the brake pads replaced and also got the brake bleeding done to rule out issues related to brake pad noise. It does stops perfectly and I could not even tell any issue if it was not for this noise.
I showed it to some mechanic and he said that the complete ABS unit can be sourced from some Salvage part shops that sell used parts from old cars.
I also read on internet and found out that this is some kind of known problem in this model year.
Given that the brand new part is going to cost me north of $3000 plus, would you guys recommend getting the complete ABS unit swapped with another used one?
I was wondering what if the other unit also shows up this problem?Any suggestion or where I could locate better part in South California.

You can get a complete brand new OEM master cylinder with all the ABS components attached for around $1311 + shipping, here's the part number and a link to one for this price at McGeorge Toyota in Virginia.
Part Number ABS Modulator Valve - Toyota (47050-60081)
You can shop around using this part number...but you most likely won't find it for much less, also you won't find a price close to this from your local dealers...unless they sell online...dealers that sell online usually sell parts for much much less than they do at their parts counter.

That being said and posted, if you buy used make sure you get one that has the same part numbers as the one on your vehicle, this part varies a little form each year and they will not work if not from a 2004 or a 2005 year model. also only buy a used one with some kind of warranty the longer the better.
