The times of dirt cheap Maluchs are gone - now they are often considered to be “classics”. There are some for around the same price I’ve bought this, but not many - and let’s face it, they are even worse than Lanos.
And yeah, cheap fuel and the fact that it’s driving are the best things about it 
Driving manual without tacho? I couldn’t.
Zajebista furka! xD
Meh, easy. Sound and vibration tell everything 
Raczej “gruz”
It’s one of those cars in which an automatic would genuinely be an upgrade. Also 1.5 LPG? What’s teh consumption like?
I didn’t have time to check myself yet, but the previous owner said that sth around 10 l/100km.
I don’t think we got a saloon Lanos here, as far as I know we only got the hatchback. The outside of that car is beat up pretty bad but I have faith that you could make it as good as new inside, and you could easily fix all that stuff like the rear window and the boot not opening. Wish you the best of luck with it!
That had to be one of the shittiest shitboxes that was still running.
Well done.
'Tis always a pleasure seeing these things rolling around. Even if only for a good laugh. We did get them in the US, but only for about 3 years, and they’re a rare sight (so is the Kia Sephia though. I wonder why…). But it’s a perfect first car, as nobody’s gonna miss this thing.
Cute. I don’t know what it is about these shit cars but I love them. I guess it has to do with the freedom that they offer for a low price. It’s still a CAR and you can drive it places, but it cost you less than a video game console. You can’t drive a video game console.
Or it might be nostalgia for my first few cars. The cheapest car I ever had cost 150 euros, it was a late 1980s Nissan Sunny 1.4 with a 4 speed gearbox. Always feeling like running out of gears since before that I had another late eighties Sunny that was 1.6 with a 5 speed.
Welcome to the life of beater motoring, enjoy your stay.
I thought beaters only had place in amateur drifting and street motorsports
tell that to the thousands of people who still daily a pre-noughties Lanos over here 
That is a truly miserable turd, I love it. And hey, if you reckon it has no rust it’s probably got a good bit of life left in it yet. I mean, going off those pictures, even if the boot is jammed shut and bent you still have better panel gaps than an Austin Allegro so it’s not all bad.
Eh… 220 eur is fair price. But Im guessing had no technical inspection passed?
Just checked, you can have a mk3 golf for that price, fresh out of MOT
It was daily used just a week before I bought it, has technical inspection valid until October and insurance paid until November.
And the question is - WHERE I could have this Golf? That might make a big difference 
In this case I didn’t choose a model, but a car that had both inspection and insurance valid for a few more months and an offer in which I knew exactly what I was buying (as I know the previous owner). And BTW, I really hate Golf III, for completely subjective reasons
Latvia, city of Daugavpils, if I recall correctly, I glanced the ad over, only remembered it’s not in the capital city.
Also the golf 3 and 4 are the “go to” budget “ass draggers” around here. As in they drag your ass to work and back and that’s it. Ofcourse there’s some Korean and Japanese cars in the budget, but for some reason german cars dominate here.
Holy shit I very much doubt you can get anything Euro for that price around here. Especially Golf. They’re so way overpriced around here it’s disturbing.
Yeah I wanted one as a first car, no sir
Well you can’t get anything with an LS v8 here for any reasonable enough kind of cash. Also nothing SR, RB or 2JZ powered. Like I said, this is a German country and we’re stuck driving BMW’s for our petrolhead needs, and the Golf is our variant of a corolla
Oh fcuk, I’ve forgot about this thread!
So update, update!
I’ve sold the car. Two months ago. Why? Well I’d like to keep it, but it would be nearly completely useless in Warsaw, on my studies, and yet it would still cost me relatively lot of money. Sad, but at least it didn’t devour all I’ve earned in the summer for just standing around.
Selling it turned out to be surprisingly easy. The guy who finally bought it didn’t even take it for a ride before signing up the contract But a situation before was even funnier, when another person seeing the car said that… the interior was in a good condition I had to try hard not to laugh. There wasn’t a single thing in that interior that was in a good condition.
From the perspective, buying it wasn’t the best decision ever
