Hi.I'd like to introduce myself. I came upon the forum via google and the 4x4 forum. I live out on the Westrand and hope to buy a lada in the coming week or so. Had a Niva Sidekick 1.7i some years ago and missed it ever since I let it go.
Simplicity has it's own reward, and as far as that goes, I believe the Lada delivers. We want a vehicle that can go anywhere, come back and does not have to be plugged into a computer to fix.
Getting a lada comes after a long process of consideration, and what I read on the forum finally convinced me that they can still be maintained and serviced locally.
Thanx guys!

Hi Spencer Welcome to the world of Lada. I hope you manage to buy a Lada in the near future which you sound as if you will enjoy. If you are stuck for a good one give Ventz in Petermaritzburg a ring as he specializes in them and has some for sale from time to time. He also carries a large stock of spares and will send them to you anywhere in SA. He also has new air cons for them at special prices . Ronnie

Hi Spencer
Welcome back in Ladaland - I am glad that you managed to find us !
Quite a number of Ladas are for sale at the moment, so I am sure you will be able to get one in the near future.
I would also advice you to try Ventz in Pietermaritzburg - he might be able to sell a Lada with a proper service record, and which is still in good condition.
If you do find another one in good condition, just go for it !
Regards
Danie
