Lada (the company) gets sold for two cents.

[Photon440]

Renault, who owned 2/3 of Lada, now deems the company to be worthless and is selling it back to Russia for 1 ruble, or about 2 cents.

Who ever drove a Lada car? Pos cars, no wonder why Renault own the brand, which BTW are also pos cars too.

The Limey that taught me to fly drove a Lada here in Ontario. We had some good cruises in that POS !!

I was in Guatemala in the late Nineties and the Guatemalan Policia drove Ladas. The Soviet Block had donated them hopefully to ingratiate themselves with the Guatemalans. The poor Policia was a national joke anyway and this made it worse!

One for sale on local CL but no pics.

PrincessValiant over on FABO has been hot for one for a while.

Wasn’t that a Fiat 124 originally?

I think Yugo was involved too somewhere along the line.

I hope this will help someone make their dream-car purchase.

Those are the ones in the Russian dash cam videos that instantly turn left and crash upon brake application correct?

My sister's Renault didn't like reverse.

Over 30 years ago I worked in the high country where heavy frosts are a daily thing....at the foot of some ski fields. We had a Lada station wagon as a company car. The guy assigned it, drove us to and from the Mill each day....cold start, full throttle until warmed up....5 of us would get in and travel the 10 miles or so to the site.

That car could not be killed....even at 60 mph, the guy would drive off the road (it was a smooth verge) and back again....through deep icy puddles at full throttle.....absolutely crash the gears....and still it would not die.

I have to admit that for a Russian piece of crap, that car was not too bad.
