I'll answer seriously. Oka is a disposable car. It's underdeveloped from the beginning, it has incredibly bad metal. It needs repairs all the time, and a used one will make you lie under it all your free time. If you need a very cheap car for a while, but one that RUNS, my advice: buy a Moskvich 2140 or 412, but NO LATER than 1986. Why not later? Because up to 1985 these cars had very good metal. And then perestroika started and they were made of tinplate. For example, a 1991 car could be as rotten as a sieve. But 1983 - without a speck of rust. Why a Muscovite and not a Zhiguli? Again, because the Muscovite's metal is stronger. The Zhiguli, even the Kopeck, was already made of thin rolled metal. And the Mokvich engine was stolen from the BMW. It is incredibly durable, the cylinder block is lined, that is, it is easy to repair. The Zhiguli of the same condition as the Moskvich, as a rule, costs 50-70 more. And if it's the same, it's in worse condition. I wrote you this from my own experience. I've had different periods in my life, too. I've driven a BMW and a Granny Cherokee. But when life took me by the throat, I always took only Moskvich, and 40th. It so happened, that I even had more than one. And I never regretted even once. And if a Zhiguli - by all means, then a kopeck of the very first issue. With Italian parts. And it's worth looking at mileage. The maximum mileage of a kopeika is 150,000. The Moskvich has 160.

Gotta start somewhere!
Get ready to live in the service! Or buy a book on repair and a set of tools, or better to find a neighbor who has the brainchild of the Russian car industry and the garage. He has a lot of experience! A week after the sale of the Seven, you can not believe what a relief.
advise: better to borrow money and buy some inexpensive Zhigul.
What's to advise, it's a small, economical car, drive it if you like it.
should buy a small economical car and drive it if you like it. 11786451 It's OK, it will go everywhere and then you just sell it and make some money and everything will be OK.
buy a bike.
better a Zhegul not new! It won't be so cheap! Oka is not a car. It's a travesty!
okka is not a car in winter. it's dangerous as well. it's expensive to repair.
Oka is cool and maneuverable, but it's better than something from VAZ.
depends on how much you are going to buy. If more than a thousand it makes sense to look for a classic more or less alive
only + for this car is to fill up once and drive for a month. But maybe save up a little and buy the same 09. Let the older but it will not die so quickly. okies rot quickly and they have load-bearing sills, not spars:
Don't be silly.
Alena buy a car with a known biography. It will be fine.
I would suggest to take a copeck 011 OR 013 in decent condition. It's easier with parts and a lot of people know the car. Many people knew this car. There were more wheels and payload. The miscarriage.not personally I would not take.
Oka is not a car.Spare parts are expensive, the resource is small better than a classic.
it is small and inconvenient on the road and you will not notice or will be taken out. You can't even call it speed. It costs a fortune to repair it. Get an old V8.
As they say from jail and from jail - I mean, to survive the accident in the ocean, and the more old and rotten, there's practically no chance.
Take it. You don't have a choice.
the okka is not a car. it's better to buy some Zhigul.
