My Dream/Project Car Highlight - The 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada



If you’ve talked to me for any length of time, you’ll probably hear about how I enjoy finding uncommon cars and how I’ve always wanted my own Oldsmobile. I’ve been making plans literally since grade school, writing book reports on Olds, and my mother has had several Oldsmobiles and Buicks. 2004 was the final year for the Oldsmobile brand. But now...it’s officially a reality!

I’ve had this 2004 Oldsmobile Bravada AWD 4.2L I6 for roughly a month and a half now, and it’s been GREAT. What’s even better is that it’s a 1-owner vehicle that had 88,000 miles when I got it - the only 2004 Bravada within 500 miles of my home like this. Wild! My 2008 Saturn has almost 103,000 miles on it! The price was right at $3,700 (similar Bravadas with 100-200k cost thousands more), and the only mechanical things I’ve noticed that need addressing are possibly an alignment, a slight rattle under the rear (loose spare tire?), and the check engine light (bad sensor).

My goal is to now fix this and my Saturn Aura 3.5L V6 up (and maybe my Jeep - but it’s a lease) in my own ways and to start attending various car shows in the future. And road trips! I’ve already started detailing and repairs - let’s just say it’s been quite an endeavor haha. Shoutout to my coworker for helping me get to the shop to pick up my Saturn and DaVonta Grant at Todd Wenzel Buick GMC in Davison, Michigan!

Here’s to “Operation: Project Cars”! I’ll be highlighting my experience along the way. I’ve also posted an article on Adam’s Autos on things to look for if you’re shopping for a more affordable used car. I encourage you to strive to follow your passions and goals you've set as well. #Oldsmobile #Bravada #Saturn #Aura #Customization #DreamCarHighlights

SN: Been getting questions about “how you’ve got all green and white cars!” I know, and the answer is NO - I’m not purposely buying all my cars green and white because I went to Michigan State haha. Purely coincidental. But hey - IT WORKS! Go Green, Go White! My next new car will definitely be red, black or blue though.
