Brand new car wit three years warranty..

Nothing beats a BRAND NEW Car...

It actually depends on the type of 'brand new' this is. From the price, I guess it's a 'Dana brand new'

If true, the lexus would be far better because I can't imagine a brand new car that has no airbags and some other features.

colossus2:

Sure....but not a Kia Rio over a Lexus for me bro.

Victoriousvic:

A used lexus would definitely beat a brand new kia.

I'm speaking from experience.

Whether its a brand new kia picanto over a used BMW..

Nothing beats a BRAND NEW car..

Those that are have bought a brand new car will understand why I say so..


Check all the threads on car talk about car issues

Most of them were not bought brand new..

All cars are liabilities...
Once a car leaves the showroom, it depreciates in value.

Why would one consider a used car over a brand new one if he can afford one with four year warranty

Haba, make we no lie for here..

@ Op, go for the kia rio if you can afford it, and forget about car issues in the next 4 years or even more...

Am trying to make a buy decision. My office recently offered us loans to purchase any brand new kia brand, all 2014 version and my pay grade is for the latest Rio, which on the price list goes for about 2.4m
However, am on the outlook for a reliable car that will last long and am thinking a Lexus 300 2003 model Tokunbo which goes for far cheaper. Guys will this be a smart move?

colossus2:

Okay I get your point.
It's all about choice bro.
But a brand new 2014 Kia Rio can't be in the range of 2.4m the OP quoted.

Guy u funny die o. It is true nothing beats a brand new car, but it also depends on the kind of car. The brand new Kia rio sold in Nigeria for 2 million has no airbags or other security features, and the build quality is laughable. I can't trust my family in that. U said it urself That once a car leaves the showroom it becomes a liability. In a year's time the brand new car rio will look older than a used 2003 Lexus rx300 plus u get to enjoy some level of luxury and reliability with the Lexus.

The Lexus has high ground clearance, far more reliable and presentable, more passenger and cargo space, off-road capability option and comes with all the security features. What can a brand new Kia rio offer u other than the fact that it is under warranty. So I guess I get to enjoy a very bland and rough ride just because of stewpid warranty. Nothing beats a brand new car, but not the case with a Kia rio. If it is hyundai sonata, kia sportage or even Kia optima then we would have a different case. Not a Kia rio.

The choice is between a 2003 lexus and a 2014 kia rio.

Don't forget my clause. "nothing beats a brand new car"

If it was between a 2003 lexus and a 2003 kia rio, that would be a different story...

My humble opinion...

I like the maturity of our argument tonight

I knew it. I just browse through the price list this afternoon.

Brand new 2014 Rio over 2000 Rx300. Why? A four year warranty from Dana covers most but major repairs. A family friend dented her 2013 kia cerato and the repairs were done under warranty. My colleague drives a 2012 Hyundai accent and until recently did not know where her bonnet release latch was. After 4 years, he can sell the Rio add cash and get an RX330. BTW, Kia Rio from 2012 up comes with dual front and side airbags for base model trim with curtain for higher trims. On the other hand, the RX300 has bells and whistles the Rio can't boast of. For a 14year old car, it is adequately kitted. If yhu have other needs for the money or carry around large stuff/people, then the RX is yhur choice. If yhure just a single guy needing a to-fro kinda car, then the Rio is it for yhu. Personally, I'd go for the brand new 2014 Kia Rio.
