It’s beige. It has a couple of door dings. But otherwise, it’s a MINT 3-PEDAL, 40,000 MILE PIECE OF EASTERN BLOC HISTORY! And it could be yours for the low low price of $3,250 (OBO).

Now you may be asking yourself, “Why in the ever-loving HELL would Pat show me this hunk of crap? Is he drunk? High? On high-end cocaine?” No, not yet. But yesterday, on a dumbass whim, I ran a search on AutoTempest.com to see what Yugos had survived and were on sale in these United States of America. The answer: ZERO. Nada. None. Zilch. Goose egg. But today, there is one. A single example that some sick son of a bitch has taken fantastic care of.

Every now and again, one of these crap cans come up for sale. With an original MSRP of around $4,000, the car has held its value more than, say, a BMW of that vintage. Which is kind of funny to say the least, considering this 1.1 Liter four banger that came out of the Cold War has aged better than a West German luxury car. TAKE THAT, CAPITALIST PIGS!!

Also, wood grain.

Someone go buy it.

*title altered from “Only” to “Nicest” due to crappier crap cans for sale being presented.

There are many more for sale, but usually on Craigslist. We just had an ad for one the other day here on oppo, and my buddy showed me one for sale on Denver Craigslist recently and it’s even cheaper https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/littleton-1988-yugo-gv/6805862222.html

Huh.  Usually Autotempest pulls CL ads, too.

Why anyone would drive that car 40,000 miles is beyond me.

Autotempest has become pretty.... Unreliable over the last year or two. Not sure what happened there

The nicest Yugo is still a Yugo.

I’m guessing you having searched CL for old Datsuns within the last five years...

I’m currently building a garage so I can sell my rusted out “ garage find” GMC in a year or two on BaT.

If I’m going t o get a Y u go, I’d want the shittiest one possible, because why not just wallow in the self loathing?

This is the only instance that I suspect the owner actually manually rolled the odometer FORWARD.

You must wallow in self-loathing all the while exuding a false sense of superiority towards other auto enthusiasts.

You know this.  And I know this.  But THEY don’t know this, because THEY are weird.
