This is one clean Yugo on the outside. But it has a massive rodent problem in the inside.

Does clean and Yugo even go together?

beautiful, I love some of the writeup statements

" It was completely repainted in its original hue of Bosnian Racing Beige"

"With the seat folded, you should be able to bring home a big-screen TV"

"People accustomed to old imported cars may weep in awe and disbelief at the sight of these floors, wheel-wells, strut towers, suspension mounts and jacking points."

"By modern standards, it's a rough, gruff little motor, but it's eager to rev and has a healthy brio that inspires confidence."

"The timing belt was replaced only a thousand miles ago. It's as important a part of maintenance on this car as it is on any Ferrari, and many Yugos met their ultimate demise by inattentive owners who neglected this issue."

" The horn is loud-n-proud. The fan blows on two speeds (low and medium low), and the wipers wipe on two speeds (normal and a little slower). The squirters squirt with enthusiasm, taking direct aim at your face and your passenger's. Perversely, there is a rocker switch on the dash for the rear wiper and washer, even though this car is not equipped with those features! (Oh, that Slavic humor!)."

"It never felt strained when I drove it, and 60 mph is a dawdle, 65 is comfortable, and 70 is fine for passing and short bursts, but for this car that speed would wear on my conscience after too many miles."

"Panic stops are short and secure (I know very well: A BIG buck tried to commit suicide in front of this car last night!). The brakes will haul down straight and stable with hands off the steering wheel."

"The suspension is all-independent: MacPherson struts in the front, and a transverse leaf in the back (...Like a 'Vette!)."

"The person who will be happiest with this car would likely be a car enthusiast with a sense of humor and irony. Someone who enjoys something a little eccentric. If you think the late-model Mini Coopers appear big, fat and bloated (they are compared to this Yugo!), if you could enjoy the distinction of driving a car built in a country that no longer exists (!), and if you have the self-esteem to sneer at the disdain you'll get from SUV and 4x4 drivers, then this little '87-1/2 Yugo may be for you. We want it to end up in the best possible home, and we hope it will live forever. "
