Sold Wife wins over Lada Samara Sedona 1500cc

[stillOrange]

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/16583-i-can-haz-vaz-2108/

 

The car:

Lada Samara 1.5 Sedona or if you wish VAZ 2108

2 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

Hnnnnnnnng. Anyone want an MGF?

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.

[JohnK]

Somebody needs to buy one of my cars off me so that this can sit on my driveway.

[stillOrange]

Mr B, I really can't answer that question and neither can she (convincingly) which is, you're right, a great shame.

[fordperv]

That's a handsome car, your wife obviously has no taste

[RobT]

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.  Process of attrition.

[Cavcraft]

I'd be up for an auction on this.

[Cavcraft]

Or just to make you a really cheeky/insulting offer by private message.

[nigel bickle]

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.

Put the wife in a raffle...

Ok,I'll buy the Lada and come and swap it for one of your E23 s , would be willing to take both if it helps your parking situation.

[Hertz]

My mate always tells me that "Marriage is like an institution, who the fuck wants to live in an institution?" He's right!

[Fat_Pirate]

Raffle, £10 a ticket?  I much enjoyed the Punto one, it's like Russian roulette.

Lada + 500 notes would take the X reg 728 away...

^ 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.

[oldcars]

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.

[KruJoe]

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

[The Moog]

Fuck the raffle... Snail race!

 

Stick little numbers on them and then first out of the circle...

[Andrew353w]

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. 

[scdan4]

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.

I agree. 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.

[stillOrange]

I am very open to straight swaps.

 

I do pick my battles

[DodgyBastard]

Raffle!

[stillOrange]

It could be £8 a pop and the car would come with pretty much full tank for the additional £42...

[Jim Bell]

Raffle. Best off out of your life.

 

I'd buy a ticket for her.

 

 

ATCNBE.

[HH-R]

I just can't understand why anyone wouldn't want this.
