I'm thinking of trading my 1997 Ford Explorer for a 2002 Buick Rendezvous. The Buick has 97,000 miles and I'm getting it for $5995. Is this a good deal? Am I making a good choice buying it? Are they reliabile?
 
are the buick is good? yeah its ok car,but in your situation,
THAT CAR IS BAD,why?its have HIGH MILEAGE on it.
2002 almost 100K mile?! wow..thats high
specially for SUV car.
and the price for America car is down.
better you change your mind,or do survey before you buy.
relax and have knowledge for the car you want to buy.
 
I'd avoid it like the plague. I've got a 2002 with 41K miles on it and in the last year I've had to repair the power window and get the BCM replaced. At the moment I'm looking at a leak somewhere in the radiator, reservoir I think, and a faulty thermostat that plays hell with the AC.

You can get much better for $6000.

I have a 2004 Rendezvous and had to the transmission serviced and now my traction control light goes on and off. Don't know if it's working or not. The pick up is a little slow and going up hills you really have to put your pedal down.
 
I bought my 02 rendezvous over a month ago and love it!! I used to have a malibu and wanted something bigger. When I bought mine it had 112K on it and I paid $4000. I believe kbb value was around $3800. 😀
 
Don't buy! You will spend more money fixing it over the next year then you will get when you decide to sell. Especially with the high mileage, you can get something better!
 
Not much love for the Rendezvous here...

I can't provide any reliability stats for the Rendezvous--not enough owners signed up yet to include it in TrueDelta's Car Reliability Survey. (Close with the 2004, though.)

You can read repair histories owners have posted here:

See the attached file; Buick is rated the No. 1 most dependable brand by JD Power last week.
 
See the attached file; Buick is rated the No. 1 most dependable brand by JD Power last week.

This is for cars in their third year of ownership, and is a sales-weighted average of the scores for all Buick models. So this brand score might have very little relationship with how a Rendezvous holds up at 4+ years of age.

JD Power does not publicly release scores for individual models, and does not collect data for anything but the first 90 days and the third year.

TrueDelta will provide more relevant information once enough Rendezvous owners have signed up to participate in our research. Those who participate get full access to all results, not only those for the model they own.
