Hello and thanks for looking at my auction. My name is Joe. I sell wholesale dealer trades directly to the public. Buying your next vehicle through one of my NO RESERVE auctions could save you thousands over what a retail dealership might ask for a similar vehicle. Before listing a vehicle on ebay, I personally road test each one so I can tell you first hand how it looks, runs and drives. The description you are about to read is my honest opinion of this vehicle based on the findings of my road test. The information contained in this description is true to the best of my knowledge and ability but cannot be guaranteed as I am not a mechanic. Pre-bid inspections are welcomed and encouraged whenever possible. Just drop me an email and set up a time to meet at my storage facility. An administrative fee of $149 will be added to the final bid of each auction. All vehicles are sold "as-is" and are not serviced or reconditioned unless specifically stated otherwise. Please read the entire description carefully and review all photos in detail before bidding or asking questions. Any known issues are fully disclosed in my description. Up for a NO RESERVE auction today is an exceptionally nice 1996 Oldsmobile Bravada. This one is finished in a gorgeous black exterior with black leather interior and gold exterior trim. This truck shines great from any angle and has minimal flaws for the age and miles. There is a dent in the rear bumper and a scuff on the right corner of the front bumper. Otherwise, this truck looks great! Please look at all the photos carefully. All of the glass and lenses are in tact. The alloy wheels are all wrapped in good rubber. The doors do not sag like most of these trucks do over time. It's obvious that someone paid a lot of attention to keeping this truck nice. I would rate the exterior of this truck as ABOVE AVERAGE. I did not see any rust on the body of this truck either. Also there is a full sized trailer hitch at the back for towing. I would also rate the interior of this Bravada as ABOVE AVERAGE. As you open the door, you will find a much nicer interior than you would find in the lesser Blazers and Jimmy's. All of the door panels are clean and in tact. The leather seats are in great condition and show barely any wear. The carpets are clean and full looking throughout. The headliner is in tact and clean. This Bravada is very well equipped. The power windows, locks, mirrors and seat all work as they should. This Bravada is equipped with a factory original CD sound system (which is a rare option) and it sounds great! The climate control system is working properly and the air conditioner blows ice cold air. The cargo area is spacious, clean and comes with the original factory cargo area mat. A full set of floor mats is included. The original owners books are included in the glove box, too. Pride in ownership definitely shows throughout this vehicle. The inspection is current, the oil change is current...and...this truck comes with two sets of keys and two factory remotes! Mechanically, this Bravada appears to be in great condition. The legendary 4.3L Vortec engine starts right up! During my road test, this truck far exceeded my expectations for a vehicle with almost 175k miles! It runs smoothly and drives great! The engine makes good power, keeps a good temperature and holds excellent oil pressure. The suspension and steering are both tight and responsive as they should be. The brakes stop this truck very well with no issues. At highway speeds, she drives strait as an arrow and shows no pulling or vibrations. The transmission engages well and shifts smoothly. This is a higher mile vehicle but I think the buyer will be pleasantly surprised with how nice this truck is. This truck could pass for a 75k mile truck any day! The only negative thing I can say is that there was a check engine light (code po444) which is an easy one. The inspection is good through December so a PA buyer has a few months to address that. This is an exceptional vehicle...a real diamond in the rough. I am a huge fan of these trucks. My wife drives a first generation Bravada (we've had it for years). These trucks are relatively simple, inexpensive to maintain and run great with proper care (which it looks like this one has had so far). I buy and sell lots of Blazers/Jimmy's/Bravada's and this is definitely head and shoulders above most others out there...period. I've had these trucks with all sorts of miles and this is one of the nicest I've had...ever.
