Oldsmobile	Bravada	32,029	14,300	45%	$17,729

     This is a more difficult decision than previous categories, obviously the Oldsmobile is completely out of the question.

 The Oldsmobile loses over sevnteen thousand dollars over three years.

  Check the size of the engines; the miles per gallon and the      . the safety ratings?Does it have AWD or 4 Wheel Drive?? 

 As you can see you are taking a huge hit in the value lost area with some of these SUV's. If A VEHICLE HAS HIGH RESALE VALUE IT PROBABLY HAS LESS PROBLEMS  BE CAREFUL

  Can you spend over 27,000 or less?
