Lada's where imorted here (Southern Ontario) back in the late 70's, early 80's. You could buy a new one for about $5K all in. My brother bought one a year lod for $2300 (yah, they depreciated exponentially by the minute). They are actually neat little cars, basically a Fiat built under licence by Lada. Very tough, but rusted quickly.

We had them in Saskatchewan too. When my family immigrated to Canada in 1980, my dad was seriously considering buying one.
Fortunatly he decided against it and got our first family ride, a British Racing Green '73 145
"Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed."
The Fiats were pretty cool, but when Lada bought the license to keep building it, they basically doubled the thickness of the body panels to accommodate it to the Russian environment. Heavy car + weak engine = suckage.
