Explore the 2002 Buick Rendezvous

21 years still looks and rides great.

My Rendezvous is 21 yrs old … the plan was to sell after 10yrs but this vehicle looked and road like new … After 21 yrs no rust … original exhaust engine tranny … 110cu ft of cargo space no suv today can match … and gets a easy 26mpg… 115k hard city miles and original spark plugs! Maybe I will wait for the electric version …

Down more than not

Comfortable, nice conveniences such as climate, audio and power ports. I bought it used. It ran okay, a liitle weak. I did a full tune-up, it ran great for one day. I was nearly involved in a multi car pile up in heavy rain. I avoided it via full throttle. It performed outstanding and we escaped but in the 45 seconds i had it floored it blew the head gasket. It went from normal to max in 90 seconds snd i could not pull over for a couple of minutes by then it blew the tank on the radiator. I have been doing nothing but replacing parts ever since. I neglected to mention it had a no start condition that eventully cost 3 batterier and an alternator. Im teplacing the fuel pump today.

Front end

Needs Breaks fixed and right front end, and new windshield. If you got the money and time to fix it would be a good car

Buick's are very reliable.

I purchased my used 02 Buick Rendezvous in 04 & it has been a daily driver ever since. Owning this vehicle I know know why there are so many senior citizens on the road driving Buicks. They bought them in the 20's & 30's & the vehicles just don't die.

Beautiful Car , Inside and Out. Great Performance

This car has always met our needs. Enjoyable to drive. The leather interior and the exterior appear much newer than the actual age of the car. AWD and the other features make this car very functional in any weather for any age driver. We have owned this car since 2003.

Had since New

Great SUV, had since new, had to replace the A/C Compressor a couple of times, have now about 75K on, Will probably sell the vehicle next year as may be moving out of the country. I keep the vehicle clean, change oil regularly at every 3K, in very good to excellent condition

This was a great vehicle for my kids and I. Bought it used and drove it for 3 years before the transmission was starting to go out
