Summary

Kia Retona 2000 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Kia Retona 2000: VIN KNECE22251K108191, production year 2000, mileage 175k km, diesel engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $6,500. Such a check helps to quickly understand how well a specific car matches the market, whether the price looks suspiciously low and whether the mileage is typical for this year.

Insight: The car is over 15 years old — running costs are higher; the key inspection points are the body and anti-corrosion treatment. Low mileage for its age — the odometer reading is worth cross-checking with the history. Diesel — the condition of the fuel system and the DPF matters.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $5,000 to $7,000 with a median of $6,000, and this offer is within the market: 8% over the median. This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history.

Insight: The price is in line with the market — a balanced offer. Narrow market sample — the reference is approximate.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 0, transfers — 0, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — —. The latest recorded operation: on —. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: One registration history with no re-registrations logged. History before import may be incomplete.
