1998 Oldsmobile Bravada review from North America

I have owned this used vehicle for only a month or so. Repairs, Where to begin... Complete rear brakes, Fuel pump, brake lines front to rear, rotor / cap, new battery, solinoid repair, front brakes cleaned resurfaced, new gas tank / lines, thermostat (replaced 2x). Now it's leaking antifreeze profusely with the engine bordering on overheating. I also have no heat. The All wheel drive warning light came on a few times, and frankly I cannot tell when the All wheel drive engages (or if it even works). It took a month for it to pass inspection because one warning light or another would come on and not go off. One of the more ridiculous experiences I've had with this SUV - driving around aimlessly with no inspection sticker just to put enough miles on it for the computer to reset. Waste of gas, time and energy. I've sunk over $2500 into repairs so far, and if the antifreeze leak is something serious (god forbid a blown head gasket), then I will probably junk the thing, cut my losses and move on. With 159,000 miles on it, and after reading other common problems with this vehicle, there's little doubt in my mind that there are only more repairs ahead if I keep it.

This 1998 looks and feels nice. The stereo works pretty good. Would be a very nice vehicle minus all the problems.
