stillOrange Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 This is quite embarrassing and for me extremely disappointing that after whole 2 days of owning Golden Sam I am forced to sell her... I can hardly explain how it came to this but basically there's no convincing my wife.Here's the previous two sale threads:http://autoshite.com/topic/20397-lada-samara-15-sedonafor-sale-%C2%A3350/http://autoshite.com/topic/16583-i-can-haz-vaz-2108/ The car:Lada Samara 1.5 Sedona or if you wish VAZ 21082 or 3 door (however you want to look at it), what looks like some aftermarket kit, steel wheels, 4 Pirelli tires with loads of thread.FWD, no power steering, no AC, manual choke.MOT until January 16, just under 34k miles on the clock.Quite a bit of non original paint but majority is in gold. Drove over 200 miles on Saturday without a glitch or a problem. Semi-C has changed the master brake cylinder and radiator. I haven't had time to touch it otherwise. Location: Manchester - I could deliver as train tickets are not an issue for me.Price: As two days ago £350 - happy to consider anything as a swap. Below some previous photos as I will only be able to get new ones at the weekend. Bag yourself Shitefest Queen/King title and help me save my marriage. Original steering wheel fitted Will put her on RR and Lada forums only if it doesn't sell here.I could also Raffle it if people want worldofceri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 My helpful* tip is: Man up!!! Why is it such a massive crime for you to have a car that you like (that costs less than a weeks wages)? Seems a great shame to me. trigger, nigel bickle, barefoot and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobT Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thread title needs to read [For Sale] Wife....and that's it. Seriously, mine used to complain a fair bit but one day I just told her to deal with it, this is what I do (for good or bad) and they soon get used to it.

nigel bickle Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Oh dear. My immediate reaction is " what's wrong with it", but it's a Lada- what is there to go wrong? If you've bought it, and had a change of heart, so be it, but to blame the wife for your appalling taste ( you are on Autoshite, after all!) seems a bit mean. If it was closer, I was more interested etc etc- but I've more than my fair share of rare old biffers. Glwts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 ^ that sounds like the ultimate solution if the badge was an issue- hit her with a Beemer ( Obv not literally) I recon a sale outright shows your hobby is optional- a swap would be a reasonable compromise and still leaves you with a non essential but life enhancing old motor. michael1703 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcars Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Shame, this is lovely. Is it the badge she does not like? I could send a Kia badge, they also made a Sedona and the likeness is uncanny. stillOrange 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KruJoe Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Fancy a swap for this? It's not as good* as it looks in the picture.Once you bring it home, your wife will see the error of her ways, and will* demand you go and bring the gold one home again.HTH Bucketeer, Jim Bergerac, barefoot and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew353w Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Lovely car! In 1992 I owned a Lada Riva estate,which had the number J 284 BVG, so it probably came from the same Garage! A Norfolk (King's Lynn) plate, I think. HMC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scdan4 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Just badge it up as something else. If you squint it looks a bit like a VW polo. Surely a Volksvarrgon would be an acceptable brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you sell then it will set a precedent. She will have a veto on whatever you turn up with next. You should explain that being a shiter is like having a religion. It is part of you and you need to pray regularly at the shrine of automotive shoddiness. stephen01, catsinthewelder, explosive-cabbage and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
