Analysis
The Rio is the right car for cheap transportation, but Don Ayres priced it like it’s scarce. Edmunds clean dealer retail for a 2022 Rio S hatchback is $15,008-$15,331; this one asks $16,260 — roughly $1,000 over book. The nearest same-mileage comp, a 38,493-mile 2022 Rio S at CarMax, lists at $15,998.
Low miles (38,128) help, but they don’t rewrite the book. At this price you’re paying new-car-adjacent money for a four-year-old subcompact with no shown history.
Verdict: MOOSED. Great car class, wrong number — buy it at $15,000, not $16,260.
