Great car, clean, no smoking, no problems

I kept this vehicle in mint condition and it has been a reliable vehicle requiring standard maintenance. I have replaced suspension parts due to mileage to get a more comfortable ride. There is slight hail damage which wont cost much to repair. I am selling this because I wanted a new pick-up for carry more of a load. I would recommend this to anyone. I would even buy it if I didn't need a pick-up.

great condition, reliable, clean, non-smoking

This car has been reliable, with a comfortable ride and virtually no mechanical issues. Has had above normal maintenance with oil changes, detail work and replaced components from normal wear and tear when necessary. It has some hail damage but nothing major.

Biggest Lemon I Have Ever Paid For

At first I loved the design of the SUV and thought it would fit all my needs. But the car needed shop work every 3-6 months for the engine, Cadillac converter and just everything under the hood even with proper routine maintenance. And getting into the third row of seating was not as convenient as it should have been.

First SUV and I love it.

I bought this car a little over a year ago and the only problems I've had with it were the battery, the catalytic converter, and one of the o2 sensors. The last two was to get it to pass the emissions. I had more problems with the seller since he wouldn't give me the title. This car rides beautifully and is comfortable, especially for my passengers. I have a 3rd row but don't use it. The sound system is fantastic; I like my music loud! I bought this vehicle well below market value and I don't have to worry about car payments; my car insurance actually came down when i transferred from my old one so that was a bonus. I've replaced the tires, oil, fuel filter and breaks. Regular maintenance is done on it but I haven't had any major mechanical issues with it. I've driven it darn near all over the state. It's really reliable. I just love it. I don't regret purchasing it at all. Just make sure you get a carfax before purchasing.

Do not buy this car ! Mostly troubles with car !

have a 2005 cxl that has rear end problems,deferential seal went,rear springs broke both sides,awd lights disabled due to rear end ,transmission slip causes late thump shifts,car howls at 30mph to 70 on roads during cold starts with clucth plates in rear end sticking.had rear bearings replaced and still noisy.cpu in the computer is next source of problems 2500 cost 4500cost replace rear end ,other than that i have put 50k miles on it and it still reads that i am getting 18-22mph so go figure. I expect that the rear end will fail at any time.I have replaced the transaxle differiental fluid 1x and expect I have to do it again to stop the grouning .ihad a 2002 new and loved it but these problems are in all the newer models and Gm won,t fix anyting. Do not BUY!

Great Buy

I am a big fan of the Buick Family. I brought the 2002 Rendevous and was very happy with my purchase. I traveled from NYC to NC and it cost $68.00 one way with gas costing about $4.00 a gallon so that was something I was happy with because I traveled alot. Great mpg and even greater comfortable room space coming from a family with four children. I love the stylish look, I love the mant features such as Sun/Moonroof, heated seats, easy folding 3rd row seat, excellent storage compartments with locks. Im absolutely inlove. Minor issues was the wheel barring and the fuel gauge needle when I first purchased car. One year later and no other repairs besides oil changes and tune ups.
