One general question please: As already mentioned many times before by various members, many junkyard-pics from the UK often show accident-free cars that were scrapped at a rather young age. Why is that so? Lack of export market? Faster depreciation than in other markets? (As far as the Samara is concerned, I can understand its early demise. I had "the chance"to drive one in 2002 or so that was just three years old, had hardly any milage on it, was garage-kept and still felt pretty spent already.) |

Salt on the roads rots cars out, used cars have far smaller values (in the case of Ladas/FSOs etc they had pretty much no resale value in the 90s) than in Mainland Europe/the US so mechanical repairs can be uneconomical compared to values. Probably other factors too. |
