My 2005 kia rio is overheating but not all the time. I replaced thermostat due to it being missing and replaced top and bottom hoses and radiator. There are no coolant leaks. Fan cuts in just below half way on temperature guage on high the after driving temperature stays normal then fans comes on at low speed and temperature keeps going up, any ideas it is driving me crazy?…?

2000-2005 Kia Rio: Should I buy this?

Sun, 28 Oct 2018 07:32:31 -0700

Hey all, first i'd like to apologize this for being a stupid question but i've been looking for answers for so long with not much for answers, so i thought i'd stop here. I've been staring at this 2003 Kia Rio 5 speed for basically 5 years straight sitting in this guy's yard but couldn't get a hold of the owner. i even remember the day he parked it and watched him shut the door. but that isnt the point. recently i found the car for sale on facebook and went to go take a look at it. theres a few issues with the car, most imporantly its been FLOODED! (the area floods every so often). According to the guy, it ran when he parked it got all new brakes and calipers, but needs a new driver side door, windshield, it has 218k miles. but the whole interior needs replacing due to it being wet, and moldy, tbh, i would just stip the whole interior and just drive it with just 2 new front seats. but what do you think it's worth saving? i LOVE the way the car looks. if its worth saving, what should i pay for it? like i said, i'd be willing to put some effort into fixing it, but not put more than the car's worth.. ill post some pics below, i'd appreciate youre help. Thanks!
