If i bought a 1989 Russian Lada/Vaz 2101, I would save around $650 in insurance alone in a year.
It consumes about as much as my Celica, and It is a carbed lazy-ass, but i would have a car that is a lot easier to fix at home and has very cheap spare parts.
And it has a hand crank for cold winters
It has no ABS,it is noisy, rattling, and loud,
the safety is minimal (my mom almost died in a frontal crash driving one at 40km/h in the 90's) and the it has no power steering.
And the handling is a typical 70's RWD car. And the rear is panhard-type.
But i need a cheaper car than my Celica, as it has advancing rust so no winters for toyo until i can get a workshop to fix it.
