[volttherobot]

Born in France, as Yougoslav from actual Serbia, I remember when we go with my father and my uncle, in the Kragujevac city Zastava's factory to buy a new Zastava 101... I was 7yo... We come with a Peugeot car from France, but for me the Zastava, and after the Yugo, as a kid was a really good cars (for their prices)... I had a lot of cars, 2 Peugeot 605 SV3.0 V6, Mercedes S Klass 400 Cdi, Mercedes Cls 350, Land Rover Discovery TD5, Audi A6 2.0 and Audi A8 4.2 V8... but last week I go with a neighbor in its Yigo 45 to a little town near and it still works perfectly, for 100 euros/usd a year cost to maintain... My last Audi service near Paris was 1400 euros just for basic filters change, oil ... So yes the Yugo was to Yougoslavia what the Citroën 2CV or Renault 4L were to France or VW to getmany, cheap, reliable car for people ❤❤❤

Keep that little car going. I still have my 88 Yugo GVX 1300 with a 5spd and AC. I've had it since 2007 and it's never failed me. I've had up to 90 mph on the highway and have gotten up to 41 mpg of you drive it right. Still easy to get parts for and easy to work on.

This man should sell T-shirts with that Yugo on it! Yugos, and small cars like Rabbits, LeCars, Pintos, Gremlins, Omnis, and Chevettes, were common in the small walking town I grew up in.

I had a Yugo and I never had to push it. It was better than the Ford pinto and Hyundai Excel.

I love it. I would really enjoy this car. I have a thing for oddball cars, and when the Yugo came out I was fascinated with then in Junior high/highschool.

Good buy. The FSM NIKI was once laughed at but is now collectible.

It's not the worst car ever made, but the worst car sold in the US market. There's a lot of Soviet garbage that's worse.

How long has it been since anyone saw a Yugo in that condition? For all of the reputation it had, it did exactly what it was designed to do, and is still a cult car in the Balkans where it came from. One to treasure, as there surely can't be many left that are anywhere near as original as that one!

[CarlosMartinez-yqgm]

For an American, any non-American car is garbage. So I don't see that false bad reputation that has been given to the Yugos.

[Mike-Twins-lover-dh]

I heard that the Yugo, was a favorite among criminals in bad neighborhoods.
It was frequently involved in push-by shootings.

youtube algorythm doing good today. I enjoyed this.

[wtf]

Nothing wrong with those cars. Beautiful.

Who is the commentator ? To me he sounds like a local veteran legend....a professional not a car enthusiast. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Subscribed.

What is left after $2999.99 of damage to you new Yugo? $1250.00 worth of dealer prep charges

[WolfShadowhill]

It’s in beautiful condition! I love my yugo and that’s a hell of a deal!

At one point in the mid '90s I was maintaining a Yugo (my girlfriend's) and a Chevette (mine). Both were better to drive than their reputations would have it, both were old worn-out cheap cars that broke down a lot but the parts situation was night-and-day - once importation stopped and the war in Yugoslavia started, the Yugo parts supply dried up while the Chevette's were GM readily available and cheap. I was fixing what was on the Yugo or looking for a junkyard part that I could make one from two, and getting Chevy parts from Kmart.

Confirmed! You get more views of people, when you drive this around, than in a Ferrari!

[briansmith]

It's a simple basic transpotation kind of car cheap and basic. Fine for aroound town back and 4th to work not a car you pile up family in and drive long distances. Also people did not change oil in them or timing belt's in them every forty thounsand miles.
