Summary

VAZ 2121 Нива 1989 VIN check

This page is a short report on the VAZ 2121 Нива 1989: VIN XTA212100L0745576, production year 1989, mileage 90k km, petrol engine, manual gearbox and an asking price of $3,000. 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.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $1,380 to $3,560 with a median of $2,100, and this offer is above the market: 43% over the median. This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history.

Insight: The price is well above the market — only trim and condition can justify such a gap. Wide price spread — the final value depends heavily on trim, condition and mileage.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 3, transfers — 1, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — under a year. The latest recorded operation: Sold to a new owner on 19.09.2025. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: A moderate number of owners (3) — typical for the car’s age. There were transfers but the plate stayed the same — the history was not broken up by plate changes. The car appeared in Ukraine recently — the history is short, its origin matters.
