Who wants a brand new Lada Niva? Not like brand new...actually brand new for $11k...imported from mother Russia! It's located in Montreal...

How is this legally imported into Canada? I don't see it meeting current safety standards somehow.

The guys on ladausa.net would be all over this. Sure I see the potential for Lada die-hards but for almost $12k I'd look elsewhere, say that rally prepped Fiat 124 in California on BAT a while back.

To be devils advocate...if it is a brand new car, then it's pretty much this or a Yaris.

Although no warranty, parts are no problem, and it would be by far the cheapest real 4x4 you could buy new...and cooler than most...

It makes no sense as a project car, but as a fun working machine...

If it has touched down in Montreal, it's too late. It has rust.

Is it wrong that my Girlfriend wants it for Valentines day?

I strongly recommend she goes for it, then signs up for membership at OCAC.

edit: you need to keep her

LOL I think she's serious about it too. Looks like we are looking to add a Niva to the fleet..... OCAC membership for all!

Excellent! One more member and we'll be able to fill up that medium sized parking lot for our first meet. Good luck with the purchase and keep us posted. If you get any more photos and backstory post it up.

Too bad I have to wait until the fall to upgrade my contribution to the membership garage. Your GF will have the flagship OCAC car and I'll have the poor cousin.

I love these things, always wanted one since I first saw it... they just feel cool. Probably total POS though...
