Default My first car! - Lada Samara 1.3 :o) - SOLD

My FIRST car! doesnt metter how sad it could sound for 29 y.o. man All cars before was family or company cars.

Lada LOL never thought that I will own one, but thats the car I was actually learning to drive back then, my father had it, same color, same engine, same everything

Needed a car for my work that is cheap, if brakes down its cheap to fix(prices for spare parts are dirt cheap as for Skoda) and looks more-less acceptable 8)

NO rust, interior is 99% OK, brand new allseason tires, drives very smoothly for 1,3 and suprisinly not much noisy sounds for 16 years old car, has just 75.000km on the clock wich is nothing. Owned buy to ladies before me And all that fun for thrilling 643€ or 774$

Its basically pretty heavy metal box on wheels, cannot imagine doing slalom in it :shock: no powersteering very VERY scary feeling after driving Opel's for last 5 years 8)

I dont give a *uck if someone thinks it looks like crap and its russian and so, well it is not the prettiest design and its almost 2 decades old(1989) but for 770€ there is NO better deal for "A to B" people carrier Skoda Favorit(cometitior at that time) for this amount of money would be rusted to the bones.

Thanx Ronin005 for helping to make a decision

Custom shot:


Pics taken by the seller, I would take a better shots 8) Funny thing is that Ukrainian guy that lives in Czech sold it to me

Thats absolutely understandable

I actually wanted to buy 2105 as they tuned in Lotus and in same condition it would cost just half of thisone but this is waaaay younger technologywise... if there is any

And track it will not see ever, I cannot imagine it doing any of cotrolled things like drift or so, only unwaited and uncontrolable ones Tank's cannot drift 8)

Thanx Brembo

Trip to Barselona would be nice maybe a bit later, lada have to pay those bucks back to me first, that was the agreement I am sure it will be cosidered to be an exotic to see it there

No mods, as you said paint would cost more than whole car, about 550€. Maybe wheels but some used for sure and will paint them in white like this guy have on his samara, Ive seen them painted in white and it looks very decent and nice, maybe ripped exhaust(literally) to have slightly noisyer sound cause its danm quiet now

weeeeeell, so you finally got it !!!
Congrats man!!! in it's time, it was a really nice-looking car for great kind of money (in comunist states). I think it really is better than Skoda Favorit and for that money you got the best :good:

so, enjoy your FIRST car, have fun with it, take care of it - here's one BIG advantage in compare with high class cars, which some guys here owns - it nearly doesn't need a care at all :prr: :fuck:
and don't scratch it

BTW: I can't see any ///M3 badge ???

yeah, in my hometown there's a black Trabant with BMW "face" and the sticker on the back saying "When I'll grow up, I'll become an M3"

when modifying, don't forget about the roll cage

and how about better steering wheel? I had nice sport "4sholudered" from Favorit for 500 CZK and it was really great wheel - small and nicely thick... it should fit

and taking some tool and make the shift knob shorter isn't bad aswell

you've got large boot, so you can put nice speakers on the top and woofer to the boot

that's all and many more mods which I've done to my first car and it was just great

Great car!

My dad had one.


Just so all you know this car can look great.

My dads was lowered, had fat tires and was cherry dark red. And I have to say it looked great!

Cheap to fix, runs well......and powersteering is for pussies!

Great to see you get your 'first' car......always exciting!

I remember my first car, and it was nothing special at all. ops:

Thats very low mileage for its age, a perfect car to upgrade like SFDMALEXaid.

I've seen guys drop merc engines in em...Im serious...I've seen this car modded with some mad shit back in Ukraine, I mean mad...you'd have these mob guys driving them instead of a more typical merc or audi that gangsters like.
