Gotta love the Adidas tracksuit.
I've mentioned this before, but several years ago I came across a Yugo parked next to a house near my property. When I stopped to talk to the owner I was surprised to learn they bought it new at a (then) Yugo dealer here is Vegas. So it never left the desert. I could not see a spec of rust on it. Apparently after only two or three years of driving it, the engine would not pass the smog inspection (suspected issue with the carb, which was a very odd configuration). So he parked it right where I saw it under a carport. Very low miles, 100% original, zero damage, complete, very nice overall condition but sun weathered. He said he would let it go for $500. Unfortunately it came at a time when I had significant family issues going on (elderly mom was in the hospital for heart surgery), and I already had more project vehicles sitting waiting to be done than I could handle. So I decided not to buy it. Several weeks later after mom appeared to be recovering from surgery I started reconsidering it. However when I went back to see the owner the car had been sold.
We also saw a post on Xweb about a trio of Yugos for sale at a very good price. I seem to recall one of them was in pretty good shape, so between them it appeared to be a decent start for a project build.
So there may still be some worthwhile ones available out there. Actually I'm surprised to read the earlier post that Yugo prices have gone up that much. It's pretty much one of the last vehicles that I'd ever expect to see increase in value.
