what are the advantages and disadvantages of a kia rio?

Question

i am considering purchasing a 2002 kia rio and would like to gather all the information i can. can anyone tell me about this type of car? thanks!

Answer 1

The only good things I can say about that car is that it is cheap and gets good gas mileage. Please be aware, that the 100k mile warranty is not transferrable. Assuming the car has 60k miles and is an automatic, the Kelly Blue Book Wholesale value is $4,900. Retail is $7,350. This vehicle is not very popular and sells for less than wholesale. If you find one in very good condition, do not pay more than $4k. Make sure to have it inspected by a mechanic before you buy. Good luck.

Answer 2

Hi I have a 2002 Kia Rio and I would suggest you check on the mileage left on the warranty end of it and if the 5 year warranty has expired you may have to get your own extended warranty. It is a good little car to drive tho. It gets good mileage etc. I also have a 2006 Rio

We don't have the 2002 data for Kia Rio but you can get some information from our 2006 model page which includes some vehicle reviews and the lowest new car price listed:

Answer 4

Advantage is price and economical operation. The down side is that they are noisy little tin cans, that the Koreans shunned as taxicabs.
