I bought a 2008 KIA Rio to fix up for my son and I am wondering if I bought a brick or made a good purchase. I found this car on Facebook Marketplace with a clean title and two keys, how bad can it be?. The seller said it didn't even try to start and I figured it was worth a shot at fixing. In this video I am going to diagnose the problem and in the end replace the starter. If you need to replace the starter on your 2006-2011 KIA Rio, this will hopefully help you along your way.
