Welcome, and thanks for looking at our auction. My name is Jermaine and we are Family Auto Services. We are a licensed wholesaler offering traded in and off lease vehicles directly to the public. We personally test drive each vehicle so that we can tell you firsthand how it looks, runs and drives. This description is our honest opinion of this vehicle based completely on our test drive and observations. All our vehicles are usually test driven at least thirty miles before being listed for auction. The information contained within this description is true and correct to the best of our knowledge and ability but cannot be guaranteed as we don’t run a mechanic shop, remember that these vehicles are used but we try our best to provide detailed information on every unit we have. Any interested party is welcomed to ask any questions about the condition of this car. Personal inspections are also encouraged when possible. All vehicles are sold "as traded" and with no reserve regardless of profit or loss. This is an open auction and all are welcome. If you have questions please feel free to call 954-918-9160. A $100 processing fee and the appropriate sales tax will be added to the final bid of each auction. Up for a NO RESERVE auction today is a very clean 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada. It is finished in a dark green metallic color with rare black leather interior. The paint is in good condition and shines up well. This is a great looking SUV in fact, there was a water line broken in another part of my warehouse so I couldn't wash any cars today. For the photos, this truck had been driven about 60 miles before photos. I could find no rust on this truck. The paint is chipped on a corner of the front bumper and the fender trim is cracked in a very small part at the passenger rear door which is barely able to be seen. The tires are fairly new all around. Overall this is a good looking truck. Just look at the photos...and remember it wasn't even washed! The interior is pretty clean, too. Other than a small rip by the drivers seat controls (see photo), there are no rips or holes in the leather seats. The leather is soft and supple, not dry and hard. The carpets and headliner are in great condition, too. The drivers door panel is cracked from someones knee (see photo). All the electronics seem to be in proper working order. The Pioneer CD player sounds good. All the glass is in tact. The climate control is functioning properly, too. The inside of the Bravada is much nicer than its Blazer or Jimmy siblings with nice wood accents and a floor shifter. Mechanically this Bravada is in good condition, too. The 4.3L vortec V6 starts right up and idles quietly and smoothly. The 4.3 Vortec is one of my favorite engines. It is pretty much 3/4 of the 5.7L V8 found in GM products for decades. They are very reliable and not much ever goes wrong with them. The transmission engages smoothly and shifts as it should, I did notice that the gas gage does not work all the time. The suspension and brakes are nice and tight as they should be. The steering is a little floaty, in my opinion but it's not a major problem. Driving down the highway, this truck makes plenty of power. The engine keeps a nice cool temperature and perfect oil pressure under all driving conditions. Overall this is a good truck that has plenty of miles left in it for the next owner. Bid with confidence...this is a great running truck that looks good, too. It will get you around through the snow in comfort and style. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
