Oldsmobile Bravada for Sale

Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Powerful engine, long list of standard features, plush highway ride.

Cons

Skittish handling around corners, numb steering, some low-grade interior materials, resale value likely to plunge quickly.

What’s new

In its last year of production, the Bravada receives satellite radio as its only notable new option.

Edmunds says

With nearly identical models available from GMC and Chevrolet, we don't see any compelling reason to buy the soon-to-be-discontinued Bravada.

2004 Oldsmobile Bravada AWD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

Had to share that I've owned the 04 Bravada and have had no service issues. I really can't believe it. I have 110K on it and have to say it's been the best vehicle I've ever owned. Sorry it's an Olds and sorry they discontinued the line. Seems they finally got it right. I've owned a number of Olds products that had typical issues but not this one. I now have an issue with the front …

Cannot believe this is an Oldsmoblie!

We needed a awd or 4 wheel drive vehicle that was reliable and easy to oberate in the snow country, especially for my wife who has never lived in the snow before. We love our Bravada because of its comfort and style and power of its engine.

Not just another Trailblazer

2003 Oldsmobile Bravada AWD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

I will forever miss the Ninety-Eight, Rocket 455, Bravada and the Olds empire entirely. This is an underrated SUV that rarely gets mention as a result of its relatives from Chevy and GMC. You'll never ever mistake this for a Trailblazer if you've driven them both. A luxury AWD SUV that fits the wallet nicely. Despite claims, resale values remain superior to its brothers.

I'd LOVE it, but!

2003 Oldsmobile Bravada AWD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)

I really enjoy my Bravada, it's luxurious, comfortable, quiet, and RED! I have auto start & the heating system, etc., is great here in Alaska. BUT....I have had a little rattle that 5 visits to the dealer have not cured, which is very frustrating. This has been there since the car was almost new- -and it's only six months old now. VERY annoying and inconvenient. A …
