Bro we had an upcoming EB karong saturday June 28 @ 7PM adto sa Iamik's chicken and beer sa tres borces mabolo kay na postponed man to last saturday due to the typhoon.I would like to invite you join our get together to meet with different kia pride and avella owners para makakuha ka ug idea and tips before deciding to buy one.
Pero its up to you gyud unsay imo preference for a ride but for a 30T budget bisan dili kia pero hopefully you can find a good one maybe a kia CD5 or an LX/GTX variant pero mostly good condition kia prides range gyud ug mga 60T to over 100T in my experience and opinion.At 30T you may need to spend much more ana para pa nindot pero 1st priority nimo gyud would be the engine condition and also ang body(sheet metal) the rest would be by project nalang if you want to start with a 30T budget basta mudagan lang,have it compression tested kung ok ra sa seller/tag-iya kanang dili pa blowby engine ug better wala ni-agi ug taxi para dili pa kau laspag.Bring a trusted mechanic nga dili pud konsabo sa seller kay exterior looks sa car can be deceiving. Or maybe we can help you pud on our kia pride forums and friends, there might be some for sale...I think here on istorya naay mga kia pride for sale sa vehicle's B&S section.try to PM kcore he's one of our fellow club member he can give you tips, he started his ride from scratch gyud and bought it from a istoryan pud.

Advantages in my opinion:

1) if you go for a CD5(hatchback type) and 1.1 engine (tipid kaayo ka sa gas bisan asa imo destination-everyday drive) even the 1.3 is economical gihapon depende gyud sa engine condition.Looks is very sporty and cool kay hatch man.An avella is more sportier look pero that would depend sa imo taste.
2) if you go for a sedan type(GTX,LX) like mine 1.3 engine & carb, ok for family and everyday drive(office to home) , average consumption nearly the same sa 1.1 so tipid gihapon.Dili nalang nato ni i-compare sa motorcycle kay ang prices sa gas karon dili na matabang.
3)Parts (brand new and surplus) naa gyud daghan available kabaha sa mga auto supply,hardwares,surplus shops.Kung dili ka kita ug para kia try getting a mazda part musakar gihapon basta counterpart sa kia part kay ang kia pride is a rebadge of ford festiva and mazda 121 so same engine ra ni sila.Try to search the net and ask some expert mechanics.
4) Price's sa spare parts (brand new genuine kia service parts or surplus) pwerteng baratoha.Just compare this with other brand sa car try asking sa auto supply for a same part nga kia then compare sa other car brands.Just a comparison lang ha not to badmouth other car clubs and car lovers, and believe me its the truth, a difference maka save ka ug thousands of pesos.
5) reliability and durability basta genuine lang nga kia parts or alternative counterpart sa mazda is very reliable and durable, will last very long depende sa gamit gyud ug pag atiman sa imo ride.I tried replacement parts nga generic medyo dali ra gyud maguba compare sa orig in my experience
6) if the engine already reaches its end-guba or blowby na, its better to buy a surplus kia pride engine(B1 or B3) nga in good condition nga dili pa kaayo bun-og on the average use rather than have it general overhaul, try to compute pila imo gasto compared to buying a replacement engine kay barato ra pud ang stock engine ani.(try calling Nito's or other surplus shops) one day taud na imo engine, rather than overhaul, pa machine (shop), pa rebore (shop), change piston rings,gasket,etc....habwa sa block & head...it would really take time, then same gihapon dili magdugay blowby gihapon ang engine once it reaches its end life.
Or if you go for racing2x or maybe a little bit of power compare sa stock you can have change engine to a mazda Z5, or other mazda engines nga musakar.One of our clubmates had done this already.
7) mga pa pogi sa ride, naay daghan, just let us know unsa imo unahon....
barato kaayo nga car & very affordable, tiguman lang gyud gamay pero used car na gyud ni so be careful pud sa imo mapalit
9) naa mi mga kia pride clubbers to help you.....

Hope this helps!
But still its your decision either you would opt to buy a kia pride, daghan kaayo car brands( to be fair sa tanan car lovers) in the market basta ang importante mag set ka ug preference(by priority) para sa imo upcoming ride.

Medyo taas ako post,sorry....wala ko ga promote,just trying to help.

Good luck!
