Summary

VAZ / Lada 2121 Нива 1988 VIN check

This page is a short report on the VAZ / Lada 2121 Нива 1988: VIN XTA212100G0508939, production year 1988, mileage 92k km, petrol engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $1,800. Such a check helps to quickly understand how well a specific car matches the market, whether the price looks suspiciously low and whether the mileage is typical for this year.

Insight: The car is over 15 years old — running costs are higher; the key inspection points are the body and anti-corrosion treatment. Low mileage for its age — the odometer reading is worth cross-checking with the history.
