Used Kia Rio for Sale

Purchased the car for my daughter. It is standard, no power window but does have AC. This car has performed very well with little problems during the warranty stage, only once into the dealership for a water pump. I have maintained it through the KIA dealership and know has 95,000 miles on it with no major issue. The one problem is 5th gear is too small for Texas Highways the RPMs are too high at 85 mile per hour speed limit pushing up around 5 rpm. At these speeds the car begins to feel a little unsafe. The cars gas mileage has always been great and has maintained the same MPG over the life of the car. It is a really good commuter car for a high school or college student. The downside to having no power locks on a car is people are not used to this anymore and your vehicle is often times left unlocked or even worse you lock your keys in the vehicle.

First off I want to say I love the fact that I can fill my gas tank with $25. I am able to get so much more accomplished due to this car's amazing gas mileage. Although I purchased this vehicle used, I feel as if it runs like new. It is vary clear to see that the previous owner kept up with the maintenance for the car. The model that I have is standard so there is no power windows or doors but the A/C is awesome. I rely heavily on the A/C system now that I'm living in the keys during the summer season. The trunk provides the perfect amount of space for my daily needs, and the interior is also well sized.

The 2007 Kia Rio is a sharp-looking fuel-efficient car. It is just the right size to get around town in. It is an amazing first car for a teenager or anyone looking for a good price. When you buy privately from an individual, as I did, be aware the vehicle may not be in optimal working condition. This particular vehicle had fuel injection problems at the time of fueling up where it would not crank until one presses the fuel peddle several times. Within one year of ownership, the catalytic converter needed to be replaced so did the oxygen sensor. This vehicle had a parasitic drain which would cause the vehicle to not start even after battery replacement and a new alternator. The remedy for this issue was the purchase of a new computer. After an investment of $2,000 beyond the purchase price, the vehicle is in good working condition. It takes a lickin’ but sure keeps on tickin'. Being ten years old, the paint has begun to fade especially on the roof, but as mentioned before, now that it has been repaired, we look forward to a couple more years with this car.
