ABS an option in 2004?

I am trading in my 2000 Century, 187,000 km with what I have been told by the GM dealer is a leaking intake manifold gasket, for a 2004 Century with 24,000 km on the clock. They are giving me $4,500 for the trade, so I am not too upset at the loss.
I don't remember seeing on the brake pedle the words for the ABS, like on my 2000. Was this an option for 2004? if so, that is fine, as I never liked ABS anyway.
Also, was the Gasket horror cleared up by 2004?

Thanks

Most GM products the ABS is an option and not standard equipment ever since 2003 model year. My 2004 Montana doesn't have ABS brakes either.

I had the Intake manifold gaskets replaced on my 2000 Century in 2004. There was a small coolant leak they said. They also said the new gaskets were an improved design, so I'd guess the design is incorporated in the 2004.
