My 2005 Buick Rendezvous

Purchased 2015 used and I love it. Leather seats, plenty of room, rides like a Cadillac. Small issues I fixed myself (yes, I am a girl), no engine issues. Drove it 800 miles to Calif. in 2016, now it's for work and fun.

I Love my Rondy!

I have 257,000 miles on my girl. I need a transmission which could be done but, it is rusted on the sub panel, rocker panels. Mechanic said he won't be able to put her on lift much longer. So I am searching for another Rendezvous! Love the Heads up Display, and Digital Instrument Center. Roomy console, Garage door opener is a plus, never worry about being locked out of house! AWD is great for the country roads that I have to travel to work. Heated seats for a tired achy back. LOVE THIS OLE' GIRL don't want anything but another Rendezvous! Buick screwed up not making this since 07.

Bought used but feels new

Lots of nice features - heated seats for one. I have only had the car a couple of weeks but my husband and I really like it. The only thing is the gas mileage but we have had Prius in the past so we are used to going a lot farther on a tank of gas. It's an suv type car so you sit higher and can see traffic better. This car is perfect for a road trip.

Very reliable

This car has met all my needs. To commute to and fro, tons of leg room. Three row seating etc. and has been very reliable.

But don't buy it from Pinellas Auto Brokers

The whole dash does not work, the gas gauge does not work the RPM's not work and the speedometer only work sporadically. I would not recommend buying from this company

GM Failure

This car was bought from a friend for $1000 with 156,000 miles on it. Everything mechanical needs to be replaced. This includes the differential which GM no longer makes parts for, the brake lines, the water pump and radiator, tie rods, struts, wheel bearings, and the hydrolic steering fluid pump. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR. I don’t care how good of a deal it is. The parts cost and headache outweighs any money saved. My dodge truck that is two years older with the same mileage is way more reliable and I am using that instead.

Reliable

Gets my kids to school every day and me to work. Takes a little time for the heat to kick on but other than that it runs awesome.
