Hi all My name is Craig and I am from Cape Town, City Bowl. I have always thought of buying a Lada and I think the time has come! Only thing holding me back is reliability in terms of spare parts access, cost of these and servicing. I know about the guy in Durbanville who does services which is great If anyone knows of anyone who is prepared to swop a Lada for my Golf please let me know, alternatively I would need to sell it beforehand in order to afford the Lada. My car is tip top and spoilt rotten (only the best oils and parts used) Serviced regularly too. Here she is: capetown.gumtree.co.za/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-cars-R35K-Swop-my-sweet-golf-for-your-Lada-4x4-W0QQAdIdZ248656195Tasteful mods, not fast & furious type crap but euro look She's a 1400 carb model. I would love to find one with similar mileage to my golf (81000km) with no rust either. If anyone is interest please call me on 072 566 5253 Thanks alot and best wishes for the festive season! Craig

Hi Craig
Welcome to paridise. Hope you find a lada soon. They are fantastic little beasts. The guy in Durbanville is Mike, The lada doctor. Great guy. He is on the forum also. You should get in contact with him, maybe he will know of a owner that is willing to swop.
Regards Charles

Hi Craig welcome to the Forum. There are no issues regarding the availability or price of Spares. Ventz in Petermaritzburg will courier to you or if you have time you can import yourself. Add 20% import duty plus 14% vat plus transport to the cost and that is your total. Normal service parts are mostly available at the local spares, or brake pads they may need to order for you.

Hi Craig
Welcome to the forum.
I am sure you will find a Lada soon.
Just some advice - be wise, don't rush, and have a proper look at the car before you make a final decision.
Regards
Danie
