Summary

VAZ 2108 1989 VIN check

This page is a short report on the VAZ 2108 1989: VIN XTABA0802J0175257, production year 1989, mileage 50k km, lpg / petrol engine, cvt gearbox and an asking price of $500. 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. LPG is indicated — the legality of the installation and the registered conversion matter.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $556 to $1,500 with a median of $900, and this offer is below the market: 44% under 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 abnormally low — a higher risk of hidden problems. Wide price spread — the final value depends heavily on trim, condition and mileage.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 0, transfers — 0, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — —. The latest recorded operation: on —. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: One registration history with no re-registrations logged. History before import may be incomplete.
