Matt, you are doing god's work. Every time you save a car like this, there's one more combustion car further up the chain which is available to save some unfortunate punter from going into a franchised dealer and being bullied into wasting their money on electric junk, on the pretext that they can't buy a proper car due to the quota system limit being reached. When the revolution comes, and we get a government which is working for the good of the people, rather than to grind them into the dust, you, and the small number of car dealers like you, will be carried on shoulders through the streets for helping to get us through the dark times.

We have a 2012 Kia Ceed eco dynamics diesel, was our ex company car, just turned 300K regularly serviced, never gave us any trouble, get 65-70 mpg on a run, 50 running around town, just passed MOT with no advisories, we'll keep it until it finally let's go

[j.b.w.]

A bit of elecrical contact cleaner on the window button and press it a few times and it should be fine.

I bought it Runs good one or two jobs to do including a broken rear passenger door handle the number plate that I've just noticed didn't get done lol the AC does work just needs to be on right setting on dial and electric wing mirrors work but don't fold automatically and not sure meant to, theres no reciepts found for any other work carried out in the files received, and before anyone starts ranting about why I didn't look before I drove of in it, I SENT THE MRS FOR IT as I was unwell, overall tho it isn't a bad car, so jobs done, cost so far new brakes all round £125 cheeper if can do yourself, fluids all topped up as low £20, there was no moulding in the spare wheel that has the jack and wheel brace in it £40 eBay bargain some are rediculas, it never stops this thing knows how to open your wallet, this time it could have been really bad the front near side spring snapped and uncoiled itself from the seating plate and rubbed on the tyre and blew it out very very luckily was going less than 5mpg over speed bump

We all love a Cheapie video 😀😀 Thanks Matt 👍 You could rename the cheap series as "The HazMatt" episodes 😁

I"m always amazed that he checks carvertical AFTER he bought the car!

That looks more of a 335 than that BMW you had last week!

As a massive Kia Rio fan (someone has to be) fantastic you saved this one! 🍺🍺🍺

[LizardYup]

Love these budget car videos. I hate seeing these cars getting neglected but love seeing them being given another chance

[FrukiLuki]

I am binge watching all your videos and just as I ran out of videos a new one comes out. Keep up the good work!

[zaneclone]

I'm glad you saved that... They're good little cars...
I drive a diesel Rio myself- and gives zero trouble...

Solid well built motor - very similar to its sister the Hyundai i20.Worth saving despite the previous owner.

5:53 I know exactly what you mean with that smell. Best way to get rid of it is get some charcoal, put it in a bag and leave it in the car for a long time and it somehow absorbs the smell

Bought a 1.1 version of these in black 6 years ago and drove it across to Malta when we moved here. It’s honestly been bullet proof, exhaust flow sensor and boot latch only things to have gone wrong in that time. Didn’t supreme me this one too didn’t take much to keep on the road! Not exciting motoring but tough and reliable. Great vid Matt!

[phillipwilliams]

I bet that's the sort of car you used to dream about when you were first starting out in the motor trade. Desperately needing a clean up, but little mechanical work needed. Quick turnaround and a healthy profit to keep the business ticking over. That should sell quickly because it's so versatile.
Good to see another one saved from the breakers.

This Kia Rio was totally transformed by a mini valet!!, it just goes to show, never give up on something prematurely.
Great video, as always Matt ❤.

My partner had a 2012 Kia Rio 1.2 Petrol from new up until recently, had no issues with it, only got rid of it as we now have a mobility car.

That car park is missing a Wonder Grip van.

Love the Rio. Had an 11 plate 1.4 diesel and managed to average 74mpg on a trip from Swindon to Bristol one sunny day on the M4 🤣

Matt can we have a tour around your car graveyard at some point? Think it would be good content
