Rio owner here
i buy parts from southern sales
availability is sketchy for some parts but the price is dirt cheap
2 months ago i bought all the engine mounts and the ac and alt belt for ~900 for everything
in 6yrs of ownership
ive change water pump timing belt (preventative maintenance) two cv joints (mom had it and didnt notice the boot rubbers bust so they went) mounts and 2 belts were original ones so they were changed as preventative also.
the hardest thing im having to find are the back shocks altho southern sales has them for 600 each
fronts are available at bobbys for 450 each
btw stop telling people these are good reliable cheap cars i prefer to keep them all to myself :lol:
