Kia Rio 2012 Old Model
The car is for sale. Inspection has expired and the registration has been overdue for 4 years.
Car condition is used. It has some issues that I will mention in full detail, what needs to be changed, and by God, everything I say is what I know and remember. If there is anything else, I will mention it to the buyer.
Interior condition:
Clean, original parts. All seats are clean, original, and without any dents or issues. The stereo has been modified and a powerful screen has been installed. I replaced the rear speakers because the original ones were damaged. The driver's sun visor on the right side has a broken base, but it still works and is fine.
Exterior body condition: Needs repainting for color uniformity. The paint is damaged due to previous accidents and has been repaired. The color shade is slightly different.
Number of accidents: Approximately 4. I am the second owner. The first owner had it with around 90,000 km. The car was clean when I got it and had no issues indicating it was in an accident. The chassis was sound. The only issue was the horn, which was modified. The horn module was burnt, possibly a manufacturing defect. I replaced the horn module, it lasted a year and burnt out again. I then modified it with a side horn.
Accidents from my side:
1. A light impact on the front bumper broke the right headlight. The bumper was scratched. I replaced both headlights and repaired the entire bumper.
2. A light impact on the rear wheel on the side. The wheel had a very slight, unnoticeable tilt, which was adjusted.
3. An impact on the front passenger wheel on the left side. The control arm broke and was replaced. There was a part attached to the control arm with a slight tilt, I forgot its name. I couldn't find the part to replace it, so I had to repair it.
4. The trunk was damaged when something fell on it. I replaced the entire trunk, adjusted it, and painted it.
The wheel alignment was done, and the car's alignment was not affected by the accidents.
Mechanical condition and undercarriage:
Everything in the car is fine except for the engine. The gearbox is fine, I have never had any complaints about it. I replaced the radiator a while ago and replaced everything in it, including the pipes and fans. There was a problem due to heat, the water mixed with the oil, and the engine was damaged. The engine itself had an oil consumption issue. I replaced it with a used engine but faced the same oil consumption issue as the first one. I suspect it's the cylinder head. I have done everything, but it didn't fix it. It might be the head, but the oil consumption is much less than the first engine. For a 100 km trip, you might notice a quarter of a can of oil consumption, depending on how hard you drive. If you drive hard, it might consume half a can. In the city, you won't notice it, and it might not consume any oil.
Air conditioning: I replaced the compressor and everything in it. It was new, but it broke down a while ago. It appears the compressor has failed.
Catalytic converters: Empty due to lead buildup. They were emptied. You need catalytic converters, as they might fail the inspection. I have never inspected it and don't know if it will pass.
Finally, a while ago I replaced the car battery. After that, I discovered an electrical leak. I don't know if it's from the modified horn, as I connected it to the battery. It might be, or it might not be. I disconnected the horn wires from the battery.
Buyer's condition: The buyer must inspect the car and transfer ownership to their name. The cost of inspection and the period of registration overdue will be deducted from the price.
