I bought my 03 Ria back in 03 off the lot brand new for 5 grand cash plus tax. I thought at the time that it was a great deal, and when the car had any problems that would cost me over 1g to fix, I'd just trash it and move on. Now 5 years and 70k miles later, I'm still in love with this car. We broke it in really good on the first 1k miles or so and ever since then have had absolutely no problems with it. Just changed out the timing belt and the car still runs like a dream. I pass up cars all day long, usually they can't even stay with me. Now I'm thinking about putting a turbo in it. I also bought another Rio in 06, and I can tell anyone here that if you take care of the car and respect it, you'll get your money's worth in just the gas you'll save, not to mention the fun that you can have in these cars. My dad and I race sometimes in the two Rios, and he hasn't yet been able to beat me in the 03 with him in the 06, hahaha.

Take it easy,
