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!

[@vionagalak7654]

Agreed

[@PGPyramid1]

I've had one of these for 9 years. It does 10-12000 miles a year, it's the most reliable car I've ever had.

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.

[@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

[@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

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.

[@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

[@stevie007]

What a fantastic car well done

[@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

[@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 😂🚘😉

[@drink4711]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@MrSparklespring]

Well done Matt! This compensates for the cars where you only could get a small profit from. I appreciate your hard work.

Great video Matt. I bought a 2012 Kia Rio2 8 years ago and use it every day. They are brilliant cars and cheap as chips to run and maintain. Plus it goes under the raider so you can park it anywhere and don't have to worry about it being tampered with. Good basic vehicle 👌

[@zdendaderman5253]

Brilliant job, Matt. I absolutely love these sort of cars. Driving something that cost peanuts to buy and run .That's stressfree, my kind of life 👍

Stress free thinking when it might break down!

[@zdendaderman5253]

@paulmcgee1867 ,very unlikely, though. Low mileage car, very good condition 👌. Definitely less likely to break down compared to, for example, Audi A6 with a hundred thousand miles on the clock.

[@kevingreen8581]

Excellent video Matt. These stories are great to watch as there are some good car dealers out there, like yourself, who will ensure the customer receives a very well prepared car. Thanks and good luck in future deals.

Great little car which in the past was the victim of brand snobbery. I suspect in the near future Korean car sales will completely bypass the German brands. I now own a 2017 Sportage 2.0 crdi with all the kit. It’s brilliant so far.

I miss when you would film when you went to pick up the cars too haha

[@phmtb]

Just used your link for Carvertical. My search on a caring about to purchase says it has outstanding finance with a company and classed as "unit stocking". Never heard of that before but will be taking it up with them asap to get it settled once/if I buy the car.....wouldn't have known that without a history check!

[@demihardaker1089]

Honestly I’ve always said, as long as a car had been looked after and is reliable as it can be, who cares what it looks like or what kind of car it is? As long as it gets you from A to B safely and reliably that’s all you could really want. An example is back in 2014 my mum bought a c max, had all the bells and whistles, it was the top spec with all the add ons. It CONSTANTLY went wrong and was always in the garage. Now, we have a 2017 Skoda Citigo. It’s the basic model, has manual mirrors etc but it’s never ever let us down. It’s so cheap to run and it’s cheap on parts. So sometimes “better” isn’t always better. Great videos :)

[@minibus9]

awesome video

[@MrAshton75]

I totally agree With you, for drivers who give their car choices as much consideration as they do a washing machine. These Kia’s although quickly dated are utterly dependable. One px I had through my hands many moons ago was an Hyundai Accent, it just did exactly what a car was supposed to do basically, When you’ve handled as many cars as you and I have over the years, you realise they’re all rubbish really and designed to fail, and only loved until the next one comes along. Love your vid’s reminds me of the good old days, collecting cars 👍

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.

[@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.

One of the things that puts me off more modern cars is the fact that the computer/management system(s) is/are going to fail before any mechanical systems do. Which often makes repair unaffordable. It's a rip off. And it takes built in obsolescence to a ridiculous and obscenely wasteful level.

[@josephmifsud8261]

Apropos my previous comment though, we had some jolly good laughs & you certainly couldn’t get away with the shenanigans we did on the road back then. - the he sign with the black diagonal accross it, really did mean ‘ drive as fast as you like’..having a car that could do ‘tonup’ as a pretty rare thing, unless your parents had a Jag or something like it.
