The 2005 Buick Rendezvous for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2005 Buick Rendezvous for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. For anyone shopping for the 2005 Buick Rendezvous, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
Power comes from the 3.4L 6-cylinder, driving through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Combined fuel use is 12.4 L/100 km: about 37 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $57.66 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Size and space
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who rents the Rendezvous
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the Rendezvous for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Running costs
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $192.20 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
