Real Russian Car Dealership - Lada 

Missed the opportunity to continue "Soon the western companies will be pumping out clones like crazy and then they will take over the market, muahahahaa!" 😃

As soon as he said all that, next scene both those dudes were on the phone lol 😮..

He said exactly the same thing when questioned by a member of staff while visiting and filming a UAZ car dealer (video of 5 days ago). LOL! Imust agree this guy IS funny!!

It cracked you up because the most inept person they could send to steal Russian car tech would be Ivan, or is it just laughable that the CIA would want to steal the design of a vehicle that could have been designed in the same year as the first Russian Revolution in 1918?

Discrediting russian car industry is illegal

Needs airbags and to be crash worthy. For $10,000, doesn't need much else, except reliability.

@@VicariousAdventurer Airbags were designed to save drunk drivers. Normal drivers never need airbags!

@@sagradamoly4234 Well, you have to be drunk to own one.😊 I must admit I do like these cars & the price is great compared to here in Toronto Canada. I would get the Vesta sport if it were an Auto trans, but none of them had auto, I wonder if it's even available?

Its weird they don't buy airbags from China

Airbags don't do anything if you have a seatbelt on. They were meant for idiots not wearing the seatbelt.

I love his sarcasm, but he says it in such a way people think he's serious 😆 The Lada Niva is a fav of mine, off road few cars can stay with it...

Odometer on old ladas goes up to 100 000 km max. After that they're new again!

A Lada Merican beer cans and a Lada crap !

Great interest rate too! What interest the most is the interest. Not the engine lmao. Interested in what percentage of buyers finance a 10K death trap @ 20% interest? Things are going well in Lada land /s

So go get a nice Fiat then

The Lada's fro the 80's were like drivin a porche@@bambinaforever1402

I should add, my friend in University had a Lada back in the eighties, and sometimes I'd hitch a ride with her. The floor of the car was rusted out so bad (in Ontario in Canada, they put salt on the roads), that I would watch the pavement rush by under my feet, and she had duct tape to hold the bumpers on. But that sucker still ran, even though she rode the clutch way too much. She also couldn't afford decent snow tires in winter, and her summer tires were bald...so, that was fun.

why do Ladas have heated rear window? To keep your hands warm when pushing them. what do you call a Lada with a sunroof? a rubbish skip......

That’s a yugo joke lol

We’ll be riding scooters 🛴 like in China 🇨🇳. 😞

Omg! Right! My grandpa had one on our ranch in Arkansas. I learned to drive it when I was 9! 😂

They used to be built like tanks, quality went down the drain many years ago. I bought a 2019, and it's appalling how bad it is. Yet still lovable, somehow. I'm calling mine Schrödinger due to the duality of feelings I have for it.

I actually bought one for 5000. I managed to hit 120kmh.. she was a gas hog though

Can you bring some to canada😊?

Always answer "Im a spy man what do you think lol"

So he has modern Lada.

He probably keeps it in garage and never drives it in the rain, otherwise it would be all rusted and falling apart

@bambinaforever1402 He can't have it in the rain, he doesn't have good shoes he can use whilst he pushes in the rain.

Land sharks 🦈

Ya there’s no way anyone in the US is pulling anything like this without a talking suit in their face.

As opposed to someone sizing you up for denunciation to the FSB/KGB as a foreign agent lined up for life in Siberia , or, more likely these days, death in Ukraine.

​@@normandduern2413I noticed the staff guy on his mobile phone immediately after Ivan spoke to him... was waiting for just that .. a couple of F-S-B guys to appear and arrest Ivan as a 'foreign agent'..😁

@@shooster5884 Worrying.

@@aivisabeleYep

Twenty years ago I owned a Lada Niva. The bloody thing could go anywhere, with the exception of swamp. It would sink down to its chassis and float. Apart from that, it was almost unstoppable. The Niva's biggest problems were the over-engineering (5 universal joins and a torsion donut. Separate 4WD transfer box to its gearbox) and really, really shit metallurgy. Everything was mild steel, with aluminum worked away in it. Bolts snapped, the floor cracked and had to be strengthened and welded, and universal joints, torsion donut and wheel bearings had to be replaced every 3 months. Even the Niva tires were shit and didn't last long! Had to use expensive Pirellis or Michellin. It was very expensive to maintain. The rule of thumb was, don't ever use genuine Niva parts. The cheaper knockoffs lasted longer and worked much better.

Here in Russia the Niva is mostly used by idiots. If you grouwn up dumb - you have to pay.

I once saw a niva that was hit by a Chevy Trailblazer on the back none of the children survived that were not on the back seats. That is why the niva is only used on non public roads in the forest where the crash speed is only 25 kmh or less..

I’m an American who understands it… hilarious 👍🏻😃!!

the legend is so cool! for 10K damn!

@@Nyx_88888 Agree 👍🏼

Yeah, but now they have totally disappeared. Russians and Estonians have bought them all. I remember that at some point in the 70's it was the most sold car in Finland. Also the cheapest.

Juu, mullakin oli mosse aikoinaan. Lada oli ylesin etenkin itä-suomessa kun huonot tiet ja helppo hulyaa.

@@TheKentaurion Even if LADA was the most popular brand at one time, it was still only something like 20% of the total market, and the rest were Western brands (well maybe there were some Skodas as well). LADA was a poor man's car, and not particularly good even at that. It's like buying a $14.000 car from India today. Meh. (Not that you can, but if you could.)

move from the USA to Russia. there you will quickly take off your rose-colored glasses

He's relatively safe if he's in Moscow. Most of the cannon fodder comes from the poorer parts of Russia (basically anywhere that's not Moscow or St. Petersberg).

I hope that one day the decadent and corrupt West will be able to produce such an advanced vehicle.

😂😂😂 it is still being made. You should get one. The icon really😂😂😂

By the way VW Iltis was especially build for the Bundeswehr...🤓🤣🤣🤣

The basic Lada Niva reminds me of the Yugo I had so long ago.

@@marjieestivill very different. yogo was very small, front wheel drive, super simple and super-unreliable. lada niva was much more sturdy, 4 wheel drive.

"Big commercial success" in this context means, that you *could* sell it. The market shares in the mentioned countries were like nothing...

Yes indeed, I saw one around 1985 in Edmonton, Alberta downtown, with blackened windows, it had clearly caught fire. That was summer. Edmonton had I think, three dealerships for Lada.

😂

thats just hilarious

Yaroslav Hunka pulled the lever!

Who would have thought Canadians were that rich? I met few of them on vacation in Croatia, most rude, stingy, always complaining and never satisfied not to mention never either fulfilled food wise costumers. Canadians are type of costumers that would take a chair to the Swedish table (buffet-style table) and then complain why everyone is molesting them and trying to eat their food.

Did the wrecking ball break? Or did the LADA go up in a puff of smoke(like the T series tanks?

Neither has the Jawa 350 two stroke!

i remember making friends with another ten year old who escaped Czechoslovakia around 1979

Interesting that you say how Lada stayed the same, when you consider how other parts of eastern Europe have catched up. The newest generation of Dacia cars for example look so much better than the Ladas shown here and I could get a new Dacia Sandero for just 11.000€ in Germany...

The original Niva had horizontal taillights. It actually looked better. But limited trunk access.

I test drove a Lada Niva in Kamloops about 35 years ago. The dealer didn't last long. The stick shift was so far away from the seat!!!!

Depends on donation received by Trucker.

If a Lada had a little penis, Tucker would suck it on camera and be like, "we don't have anything like this in america!"

Tucker loves everything Russian, especially Putin's pickle. He lives under his desk, too.

They've had to increase interest rates to control inflation because of the sanctions. The economy is hanging by a thread.

For no airbags. Holy shit lol.

I get upset about the 7.99% I’m paying now! 😲

It is a direct reflection of the currency health. Imagine Argentina currency and what interest rate would be

why do you need an interest rate if the price of a new car is equal to the average salary for 8-10 months?

I’m a 58 year old American. Frankly, I love the old Soviet Union era of Lada’s. Simple, no frills, tough and many still on the road 🚙👍🏻😃!!

Living in Montreal, there were quite a few Lada cars on the road from the late seventies to around 1990. A new 1980 Lada would set you back about $3500. Lada had to pull out of Canada because airbags had become mandatory for passenger cars, and Lada wasn't at that level of technology yet. My brother had purchased a new Niva 4x4 about 2 years before Lada had left Canada, and that thing was like a tractor with its lowest gear ratio selected for trails. It's off-road abilities would put Jeeps to shame accept for it spending a third of its life at the dealership undergoing repairs under warranty. My brother was extremely happy that he had purchased the extended warranty. Lol, and while it was still under warranty, he traded it in on a new Chevy Cobalt, which turned out to be an even bigger piece of crap.

@@suzannetisseur2872and its a typical deerhunter car in europe !

I remember that. They couldn't afford our produce so they gave us Ladas. There are very few still around. Two of my friends had them.

I love how Ivan talks shit to anyone who questions him videoing things. He’s not afraid to bring the heat 🔥 in the name of free speech 👍🏻😃!!

Keep in mind that the rest of russia gets between 250 to 500 dollars a month and a pension for retired people are 120 dollars and 200 dollars for those who reached 80 years old. So no cars for those, they dig dumpsters for food. It is all over youtube

​@@bambinaforever1402yes. But prices are 50-100% lower than in the west.

@@zeljkomikulicic4378 and you dont get airbags.

"100% lower than in the west." So these cars are free? Learn mathematics.

@@nigelsenchez my car doesn't have airbag. Actually have but doesn't work. Same thing.

Why not an old Renault - much cheaper and 1000 more reliable.

A Lada would probably still totally function after a nuclear-bomb caused EMP. And then fail for completely other reasons.

y’en a plein sur leboncoin

I think it is the law in North America

USA has a fucked up laws. Just like the one having to stop for a school bus. The little bastards must be really stupid,if they don't know that they don't supposed to cross the road when a car is coming. Only in the USA. 😂😂😂

@@J-1410 And everywhere in W. Europe.

Airbags are required by law to protect drunk drivers who refuse to use seat-belts. That's why they're called "Supplemental" restraints.

@@sagradamoly4234That is not the reason

as far as i'm concerned with a more or less fully-loaded mid size executive sedan, the resting after a day's work starts when i get into my car as oppossed to it starting when i get home. I had a basic Mazda before and now there is a huge difference. my back aches little less when i get home compared to when i finish work because i specced the car with the most comfy seats i could. the radar guided cruise control makes it immune to brake checks or idiots cutting me off, auto-brakes too if something jumps in front. auxilliary heating that i can program or start from my phone so that i dont have to scrape the windows in the winter, very quiet when cruising at motorway speeds. in town i can't even hear the engine. much quieter than my previous car. 4-5 hour drive is like a warmup, i only have to stop for fuel or toilet break, no physical discomfort even after 10 hours of driving.

@@verliebt3465 all good. Just my personal preference. I drive an old base model Jeep TJ. Manual, roll up windows, zero carpet, just the basics. The seats are really comfortable. I mostly work from home, but drive into work occasionally. It's a 375 mile round trip. No discomfort at all. It's paid for and it works for me. Again all good!

Yeah? But then someone presents a basic car and everyone gets a laugh at how basic it is. We've moved on.

@@anotheryoutubeaccount5259 Plenty of cars with less even today. You can move on all ya want. Enjoy!

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thanks my Cuban bro! That’s very interesting

I think the Niva was mechanically a Fiat 124/Ziguli (modified by VAZ in a 4x4) as you can see in the video: longitudinal engine. The frame was derived from neither 124 or 127 but specifically developed by VAZ. It was the first unibody 4x4 car to enter mass production. Other mechanical parts and the initial 1.5 engines were sourced from Fiat 125, a slightly bigger and heavier car than the 124. Notice that 125s manufactured in East Europe had the much older 1.5 Fiat engine, not the fancy DOHC powerful units that moved 125 (Italian production) , 132 and other Fiat cars later. Styling was clearly influenced by Fiat 127. My boss had a Niva in '98 (used it to travel around his land in the Alps) and I clearly remember it was fun and noisy. Also the car was not designed with fuel economy in mind, but surely it could climb.

Hi Sandro, I owned a Fiat i27, and to me , some of the body parts were identical, such as the bonnet, front screen, door tops, back top 1/4 panels and tailgate, (like the 127 hatch) but most with extensions added on to lengthen or deepen them. If you put a 127 and a Niva side by side, you will see what I mean. I always thought that they had obtained old moulds from Fiat and modified them to suit the Niva design , but with a new frame for the longitudinal engine layout. Also the forward opening bonnet and spare wheel placement was the same. They looked too close to be a coincidence. If you look up the Vaz -1101(which never went into production) you will see that the 127 was then used as a base for the Niva. .@@sandrodunatov485

@@jrbaeronz9840yep I perfectly understand what you mean, 124 - Ziguli were for the time a very conservative 'failsafe' design. Yet the Niva is in all practicalities a 124. Aesthetically, VAZ made all possible effort to differentiate it from the 'established' 124, taking obviously all possible influences/clues from much more fancy 127 but also 128 and others, which were the 'way of the future'. But these obviously had front MacPherson suspensions and independent rear wheels (an instant canon for mid-sized cars, adopted by everybody else, VW Golf first) , but not a wise choice for a rough 4x4 car, and rightfully VAZ had clear and different plans. Under the bonnet and the frame, all cries 124. The gearbox is very similar, the engine almost identical, gear shift lever in same position, also in the drive seat you are clearly in a 124 not in a 127. The 128 and the subsequent 127 (128 came first) famously btw had an asymmetrical driving wheel, Niva's was perfectly straight and centered like the 124 (longitudinal engine, thus no such problem).

Still a popular car here for 4x4 clubs, but hard to find now. Two for sale here at the moment,- one for NZD $6000 (1998 not registered) and another for NZD $50,000 (1999 registered, but a silly price he will never get) has some rust as well@@sandrodunatov485
