Default My *hopeful* next car purchase, You wont believe this one!

The other day my dad & I went out to check out an old Opel Kadett wagon. Sadly, that car turned out to be a bust. BUT the guy had another car on the property that kinda caught my eye. Sit down before reading further because you wont believe whats next. The car that caught my eye is the infamous "Revenge of the K-Mart shoppers" Yugo!!!! Can you tell I like strange, odd ball cars? This fine example is actually in really decent shape, no rust & 60k on the clock. Should also get decent gas mileage. Sadly its not the convertible version but for only $400 its not a bad deal.
Whatchall think?

Lol nice! my Uncle had a brown YuGo that just sat in his driveway for years.. It only had about 50k on the clock with no rust or anything but it just hadn't been moved in years. I called it the "YuGo Nowhere"..

All interesting idea's but I suspect it may hurt the gas mileage.
For those looking for their own Yugo, check out Other Makes TOP GEAR GV in Other Makes | eBay Motors

I love the shots of the rear suspension lol.
