What is your question?
I need a car now. My mechanic has one for sale with 198,000 miles on it. Am I stupid to buy it for 2000.00. Will it start to have issues. It's been maintained well.
What makes this problem better or worse?

How long has your 2008 Kia Rio had this problem?

Hello, it's fair to say that any vehicle with almost 200,000 miles is prone to having things come up. Even the best maintained vehicles can come up with issues as the mileage rises. Whether or not it is worth the $2,000 is something you'll have to decide. You may wish to have an independent mechanic look at the vehicle with an impartial eye to give you an opinion.
Highly recommend checking values on KBB before making a decision!! 2 grand is probably a little more that it’s worth.
There’s a bunch of vehicles out there for sale - shop around for best value. Don’t know your relationship status but IF your mechanic is willing to help out with future repairs - go for it!
