Lada Niva

enjoy wrenching on it 2 hours for every mile covered.

I know you murritards romantisize russian garbage because they're excotic or some shit.
They're garbage.
Russia can't make anything that isn't a military technology.

Eastern yuropoor actually.

>>16374381
in which case go ahead they propably go for 20 rubles

>>16374332
>Would it be a good daily life car?

HELL NO. Shit mpg aside, it's unstable and very noisy at higher speeds, the interior is terrible, the reliability is terrible, and there are no safety features at all aside from ABS on 2012+ models.
It is a good base for a 4x4 off-roader on a tight budget, or an okay-ish country car for poorfags, but do not DD it.

>>16374332
I don't know why you'd dd one apart from being a contrarian faggot.

>>16374332
If you live in merica id say no as a DD but it would be neat as a collectible/oddity, there's plenty of other old two door suvs that are much easier to take care of/get parts for like Pajero/raider, tracker, samurai, cj jeeps, etc.
>>16374381
In that case though I'd say go for it

>>16374332
>Would it be a good daily life car?
It depends on what are you searching for in a car. If it's comfort and reliability then not really.

>>16374332
>classic
its still in production debilu

This car is a lie.
This is a Daewoo Damas.
GM just put another badge so you don't feel like shit.
Just like your """Vauxhall""" Astra.

I daily drive one of these in the UK.
I recommend more people do it.
It's slow, it's noisy and is simple in terms of creature comfort all of these aside from speed can be can be improved with a bit of bodging.
But do you know what it is? It's honest. You will never see a Lada Niva oversold, it will sell itself to you in terms of off road performance, ease of maintenance and more importantly character. Dunno what all the hate is for, probably amerifats used to 'muh ranger' or some other fat plastic engine-bayed peice of tripe. Ease of maintenance and spare choice and availability is unparalleled, whilst truck boys in my area repay their car loan I buy accessories and cheap beer. Part prices are cheap. Most jobs can be undertook with a basic set of tools and the era it was designed in reflected its design. No frills, everything that isn't needed or more prone to mechanical failure is removed. Forget heated seats, automatic windows and self adjusting wing mirrors this is car ownership at its most basic form and in fact, I love it.
I live in the middle of nowhere, unforgiving roads and sparse settlements and it has never failed to bring me home and whatever has gone wrong with it I just spent my evenings squirreling away.
When 2 Lada owners meet they are instant comrades, there is a shared bond between people. You do not buy the car for the cars sake, you buy it for the lifestyle. It is an un mistakable vehicle, once at the pub a Russian excitedly exclaimed that his grandad has one ploughing through Russian winters trouble free from year to year and I remember chatting to a Pole who 'Had one at home, is very very good car, need to go back, good car'.
Yes they are seen as shitboxes, the second the communist block came to a end they were abandoned for something shiny and western but when said shiny and western device breaks down or requires a specialist or expensive part then guess who is called, the humble Lada Niva driver.
Buy one, buy one now.

Why not just buy an XJ? Is it too complicated? Too ''shiny''?

There's enough options for a car that isn't a Lada.

>>16375354
Because I wanted a cheap, small, and utilitarian 4x4 I could maintain on a shoestring budget, not a vehicle to drop my children off to football practise in and take my mixed race wife to yoga.

>>16375413
I don't have any children but I like to have a car that will work for everything.
What's the cost of a brand new Niva?

>>16375431
Which country do you lan to get one?

>>16375440
Baltics. Nevermind. From 8900€ for the base model and "Urban'' edition is from 10400€.

>>16375534
He wants a smaller car for some reason. Don't mind the fact that longer wheelbase will be better for offroading.

>>16375431
Why brand new though? Nivas fall apart at a constant rate regardless of age.

>Would it be a good daily life car?

My friend who is an ethnic white nationalist who lives in the french forest with his wife and 5 kids seems to be doing pretty well.

Previous niva owner here:

If you did over 90km/h for more than 5 minutes it would overheat.
It could plough through almost 1m of snow no dramas.

Went 72 mph in my 1997 one once, thought I was going to die. I would imagine a new one with ABS, some extra sound padding (like old carpet or if you are minted some extra rubber) and nice wheels would be just fine.
>>16377738
Again, more baseless shit.
>>16375477
Stick with the base model and then customize it your hearts' content.

>>16375534
That looks pretty dank but I've never seen one of these in my country.

>>16375534
Lucky you as those are hard to find and the 1980s is long gone. Nissan confirmed for so tough even rednecks have some trouble killing them.

Really starting to regret that they were killed off in the UK otherwise I would have a whole fleet of them in various states of disrepair.

>>16378430
They're still imported into the UK. 7 grand will get you a new one

>>16378542
It never really caught on unfortunately, LHD on RHD roads kinda rustled peoples jimmies.
Importer site now says this 'Unfortunately, Lada 4x4 is no longer supported in the UK'
Would my best bet to get one from France/Belgium? Or are they becoming niche there to?
