96' Bravada

This is a nice car, but when the odometer turns around 60,000 miles you start taking it into the shop every 7,000 miles. This just happens to do this right after the warranty expires.

I purchased this Bravada used for $8,000 with 42,000 miles on it. It's been great for me so far, only the spark plug wires needed replaced. It handles the snow here in PA just fine. Plenty of cargo room in the back, seats are very comfortable, no real complaints.

Our 26 year old Olds Bravada lives on in 2022

We bought our Olds Bravada new in 1996 with the gold package, towing package and CD player, three of the few options that did not come standard. Put 257,000 miles on it, had both of our children use it as their high school vehicle, and drove it back and forth from WI to OH 40 or more times, through a blizzard of up to 20 inches in Indiana while my wife was 7 months pregnant with our first child that ended up shutting down interstates. We had the normal maintenance costs, brakes, suspension, etc. that were a fraction of the monthly payment of a new vehicle, but no major repairs. recently had some trouble with engine cutting out, which was a challenge to diagnose but eventually our repair shop figured it out. to this day the only rust was on the front tow hooks, the rear tow bar which we replaced, and a very small spot on the corner of the rear bumper. For us, we could not have asked for more from a vehicle, and to be able to say that it is still on the road should be all the testament needed to say what this vehicle deserves.
