98 Olds Bravada
What do you guys think? Good price?
if its got the 4.3 that is a strong engine, had one in a jimmy and loved it. it seems like a good deal with leather, AWD, and all the options.
Any opinions?
and any carfaxers in here?

neighbor had one <2000>. was a good drive. wasnt worth the $32k when new IMO, but was good. the 4.3 threw the truck around pretty good, could squeal a tire on takeoff if i wanted to <left front i believe>, but involved a brakestand, then get off the brakes. i will admit that high end acceleration <past 65> wasnt the best, but it could get out of its own way. but he does have a recurring issue with battery drain, and with the rear glass opening on its own <he blamed me for that >.
drive it, and YOU tell US if its worth $3800

Seem slike a good asking price and worth going to take a look at. What kind of transfer case do those have?
EDIT: I did some searching. Sounds like the TC is similar in function to what my jeep has except no low range (and different manufacturer). I would take it for a test drive, get it warmed up and then do some slow tight turns or figure-8'* and see if the front hopps/skipps or binds. I'm not sure if that applies as much to the case in the Bravada but it can't hurt to check anyway.

A couple guys on my Aurora site have em. Its a great looking truck. Very similar to a 2nd Gen Aurora interior. My choice over the Envoy and Trailblazer.
