It's a testament to this channel that I'm watching a video about a fucking Kia Rio.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Hahah thank you!

[@opentopper]

I do like that you don't just focus on more expensive cars, but also recognise that many people just want a car for transport and so feature basic cars like these too without being snobby about them. The variety on your channel is what keeps me returning.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thanks!

[@TomRxtroWav397]

Not all them... lol

[@lewistillett206]

Not always. It could be low mileage but it could means lots of short journeys where someone’s stopping and starting constantly, riding the clutch, never letting the engine properly heat up. Leads to expensive repairs

What a good buy, I bought a 59 plate Kia Picanto with 42k on the clock from a neighbour for £500, full service history, mint interior, just needed a couple of bumper scuffs buffed out & a machine polish, basically a day's work, sold it for 2k through the local paper, wish I could find more like this one! You are dead right, clean cheap cars fly out the door, Just bought a Citroen C1 for peanuts, needs a clutch & a valet, reckon there is a grand in profit once done.

[@jsd170]

Bought a 2012 1.1 Diesel Kia Rio with FKSH for 3295 4 years ago to move to Malta. Through all the bad roads and dust in Malta, plus and the derive from Uk 4 years it hasn’t missed a beat. Keep up the videos Matt, great work!

[@Nigel_Pugh]

Love these videos about older cars Matt. I once bought an old Citroen AX from an old lady who had been told she couldn't drive anymore due to failing eyesight. It had clearly been cared for and, although it was up for £575, I gave her £675. She was lovely. I used it on a weekly basis for travelling from Preston to Salisbury and it never missed a beat. I sold it about two years later for £450, so I was chuffed with that. Keep them coming.

[@stevie007]

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

MR Lloyd of Lloyd Vehicle Consulting would agree 👍 cheap and solid.

[@nathanstevful]

I had one of these with the 1500 diesel. It was pokey, even with good tyres it would always wheelspin. Cheap plastics but typical Kia build. Drive it without worrying of it breaking down, cheap for tyres and parts. Good vid mate.

[@HristosTrUK]

Mine is the same. I tried to pull a bit quicker on a junction and it spun wheels up to third. 1.5 crdi is definitely not for new drivers. On the other had the cost of running is low and I do around 62 MPG. Perfect work horse, just wouldn't impress the girls. 😂

[@BlatentlyFakeName]

I have one as a daily which I think a previous owner has remapped. It's surprisingly quick. The big issue with these Kia's though is they rust badly. They didn't galvanize the subframes or body

[@derekgibson9834]

Great honest little car. No doubt, new owner must be delighted with it. I am surprised you did not keep it as a courtesy car. Highly reliable, inexpensive , and in almost skow room condition. A profit is a profit. Well done

[@seanoakes569]

This Kia was bound to sell straight away - Great Price for you too - makes up for some of your recent ‘keep a car on the road over-spends’ It looks like a gem for either a ‘L’ driver and/or a ‘1st Car’ for someone… Thanks again Matt for another beautifully presented video… Also enjoying your ‘High Peak Property’ video’s as well! Keep them coming! Next time I go home to my Parents in Marple, I am going to make a concerted effort to pop over and say hi. Many of your test drives are done on so so many familiar roads around, Romiley, Marple, High Lane & New Mills area😉 love trying to work out where you are (& how you have edited your videos… 1 second you are in New Mills… then seconds later, you are driving through Marple Bridge towards Compstall 😂🚘😉

There's something special about low mileage budget cars, especially when they clean up so well. Looking forward to more of these little gems

[@split_pin]

That sounded like a good, straightforward and robust journey from start to finish, I hope you find more cars like this!

[@grayfool]

Nice. I love it when a plan comes together.

[@dan19752008]

I've had three Hyundai's, which are basically Kia's and they've never let me down. Our current Kona, has every gadget you can think of, it probably has more spec than some German of double the price.

[@pclayton5063]

It's always good to see you hit one out of the park Matt!

[@pablodebablo98]

I actually have a Kia Rio 2006 5dr :), I got it for $1200CAD and the odometer had abt 160,000KM on it, so not terrible at the time, as it was during the pandemic. I've had it for 3 years now and for all that time I've loved it. It generally isn't the best on ice/snowy roads buts that's probably because I have all seasons and not winters. Eitherway it's reliable, I've only ever had to put 1 major repair into it. Just regular maintenance so far with brakes, oil change, and a sensor

[@TheGreatestPlayerInTheWorld]

Great result for you ! Very happy for you

[@Blueblur444]

These and their Hyundai twins are indeed good, reliable transport. I bought one of these almost exactly the same sort of deal - low mileage, full history, had been sitting a little while, and it never gave any trouble at all. Good score Matt.

[@garrygreen3210]

Cracking stuff Matt.

[@wendyhopkins2902]

[@Basexperience]

Nicely done, sir. Your change of focus onto higher throughput on lower value vehicles makes perfect sense at the moment - I guess the only difference is with lower margins (not this one, obviously!) you'll need to adapt to a higher throughput somehow. Was the front Kia badge OK? I thought I saw some wear on the black background in one of the shots.

[@andrewtuff6257]

So great to see you making good cash and that’s a fab cheap clean car for somebody, as you say, AC, Power Steering and electric windows, means easy to live with.

I really enjoy your "happy banger" videos, they reflect what so many people have to buy to get to work these days. I have a Picanto, £18K miles, for running around, it the same year as the Rio, similar condition, love it, it is just transport, you can leave it anywhere, drive it anywhere and there are no worries about anything. You have to drive it, not press buttons, and it is as much fun as my Boxster S, because you have to push it all the time. This is driving freedom at its best.
