Beaterblog Marketplace: Yugo For Sale - Southeast, MI $50

There are no shaky camera phone pictures and no way to shoot an informal and not-so-serious email for more info, but the ad pretty much says it all:

"hi i have a 1985 yugo for sale i am selling because it was givin to me and i have no need for it. it is a 4 speed manual the clutch is decent it in it i was told. i have not drivin it. it is sitting in my drive way. i am selling itr for so cheep because yugos are piles of shit. call me it you are intreasted NO EMAILS 1(517) 294-9810"

I called and left a message to lowball the shit out of him get more information. More details and pictures to follow.

Beaterblog Marketplace: Skoda Octavia Combi For Sale - California - $4000

Although this is not one of the roughly remarkable 2,000 Skodas sold in the US at the height of Cold War tensions, it's here now and can be had for a reasonable sum of $US4,000. I'd guess that this remuneration is negotiable since the car has been for sale for the last 6 months or so with a continuously decreasing asking price.

The description claims that the car was restored in the Czech Republic, but some of the bodywork behind the doors and in the rockers looks suspect. Other than these two areas, the car looks great for the price. Check here for more details, and best of luck in your negotiations!

Beaterblog Marketplace: Paperwork-less Samara in USA

Beaterblog marketplace searches far and wide to bring you the most interesting and obscure project cars, parts, and random items to add to your garage and further complicate your life.

One Beaterblog reader needs to take advantage of this opportunity to own this relatively nice, and seemingly Russian market, Lada Sputnik (AKA Samara). Even though it is somehow being driven in the Seattle area, the ad states that there is currently "no paperwork". Potential buyers beware!

The vehicle was unsold with an opening bid of only $1200. Beaterblog has emailed the owner to see if the vehicle is currently still for sale. Check back in the new marketplace section for updates!

Zaporophets 968M in Toronto!

Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity, this recently imported Zaporozhets is for sale in relatively nearby Toronto, posted only two hours ago on Kijiji! Conveniently, it comes with a bunch of spares and a first aid kit. The $5,000 Canadian asking price is certainly cheaper than the plane ticket to Russia, bribe money, purchase, and shipping price. You had better move fast before this rare communist beauty gets away. You can bet that with keywords like these, it won't last long.
