How much does it cost to replace a timing belt in a Kia Rio?

I'm considering buying a 2003 Kia Rio as a commuter car for school. The asking price is $4500. It's a good car and the owner said he recently had the timing belt replaced. I've read that replacing timing belts seems to be a consistent problem with Kias. How much does something like that usually cost? I don't want to be pumping a ton of money into a car that I'm not paying a whole lot for in the first place.How much does it cost to replace a timing belt in a Kia Rio?Timing belt replacement normally run approximately $200 - 400 depending on the shop. Some shop may suggest new water pump and/ or timing components since it saves on labor to do everything when its apart in the same area.
