2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL Description

This vehicle is headed to salvage, but I thought I would put it up on eBay in case there is someone out there who might want to fix it or use it for parts. I am the only owner, and this has been a great car, but it now is leaking coolant from the engine and I'm not up for an engine replacement at this point. The interior is in decent shape, and most of the features still work (such as the heads-up display which I always found quite cool). The windshield mirror electrical connections are kaput, so no dimming feature or driver/passenger courtesy lights. The rear defrost does not work, and the leather, while it has no holes, is worn. The AWD Disable/ABS warning lights are constant right now, but that apparently is a common problem associated with the sending unit (the brakes work fine). There is body damage--a lacrosse ball imprint in the passenger side rear quarter panel and damage to the driver's door that keeps it from opening all the way. The tires are in good shape, however, and 3 of the four power windows have new parts and are working great. I also still have both key fobs and they work, though the part that connects them to a key ring has long ago broken off. If I thought I wanted to keep the car another 5 years, I would probably replace the engine, but since that answer is no, it's time for it to go. It does run, and you can drive it away, but it needs a fairly regular radiator replenishment to keep from overheating. It does have a valid Va safety inspection that does not expire until September. At any rate, it is what it is. One time on eBay before it goes to salvage . . .
I need to add that the A/C is not working.
