No, the money wasn't the issue. What caused us NOT to get the Bravada then was they wanted to give only $2500 for the Mystique in trade in...I said no way. My mom would have paid for the Bravada, as her parents paid for her Elite. Also, after I've thought about it, the fenders on the Bravada sounded REALLY tinny when I knocked on them, the handling wasnt good at all compared to the Mystique (duh), and even the ride wasnt as good as the Mystique, which honestly surprised me. The good things about the truck is it has PLENTY of power, a pretty good factory stereo (Bose with in-dash CD changer), and it had good cup holders (I always have to have a Pepsi when I drive). Yeah, it would have been nice, but the Mystique will be more fun, and if I work on it myself, I'll be more proud because of the fact that I DID do it myself.
