The Lada/VAZ 2101 was compact sedan built by AvtoVAZ starting in 1970 for Eastern Bloc needs. It doesn't have the reliability of a classic German car, the handling of a British classic, or the speed of something domestic, but it has the undeniable cool factor of a Soviet sedan. Find this 1979 Lada 2101 Zhiguli offered for $10,500 in Marco Island, FL via craigslist. Tip from Dascpcu.
Utility is on par with strange proportions in this Nova Scotian assembled Lada Niva pickup truck. Although not really a rarity in the global car economy, the Lada Niva pickup is the Fabergé egg of the AutoVAZ offerings here in North America. I know that’s sort of like saying you have a favorite way to get injured or own the best of the Harbor Freight line of jacks, but despite the inherent crappiness, we all want one. Find this 1992 Lada Niva Truck offered for $4,750 CAD ($3,641 USD) in Gatineau, QC, Canada via Kijiji.ca. This

enjoy the ride!
by Adam -- Occasionally
you just want to drive something unique or different. To not see the
same make or model next to you, across the light from you, in front and
behind in the carpool lane. Well the more I think about that the only
way to get a car that unique is to go where the population had few
choices, but choices we didn't have here. While I don't see why you
can't import three cheaper and have a daily driver, track car and parts
car in one shipping container along with a family of gypsies than this
example you probably won't find another Lada in the parking lot at the
PTA meeting. Get one and sell later to the hipsters for profit. Find
this 1983 Lada VAZ 2101 in Atlanta on Craigslist for $6,499. 
In all my eBay surfing, I've seen some funky auctions-- buy one get one free, buy one and you need to submit a core (or trade-in) but I've never seen someone offer two cars for one price, where the winner selects one car to take home. Why not create two different auctions? Seems a strange way to sell your classic Russian sedan, but in Soviet Russia, eBay auction you! Find a 1980 VAZ-2103 or 1981 VAZ-2106
offered for $9,000 buy-it-now or best offer via ebay, located in Hialeah, FL with a few days to go. 
Some folks get positively obsessed about being different. It starts with little things, like a black T-shirt, maybe a studded belt. Later the obsession is manifested by a custom skull tattoo on your ankle, maybe a hoop earring or two...and the next thing you know you are driving into downtown Québec City to score some E on your way to a rave in a Lada Niva Cossack. Want to be different, kids? Beware of the consequences. Find this 1997 Lada Niva Cossack offered for $1,850 CAD ($1702 USD) in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Tip from Zach.
Sometimes the right car just appears in the right place at the right time for the right price. The decision is easy, you pull the trigger and become the owner of a new ride. Other times the car is located in Siberia and only contact information is a mysterious Russian sounding email address. Today's feature is the latter. Find this 1981(ish) Vaz 2101 for sale for $1,500 via SF Bay Area, CA craiglist, but per the seller "Izz een Rrrussha." Tip from Kaibeezy.
Forget everything you know about cool hipster mobiles - this feature is going to change everything. Take the cool of driving an Alfa Romeo Berlina Sedan, the "I don't need to ride up hills" practicality of a vintage steel framed fixie bike and add the "I was wearing this before it was used on that USA Network show" linen Fedora...you still won't be as cool as this car. Find this 1975 Lada 1500/VAZ 2103 for sale in the SF Bay Area, CA for $11,500. Another brown trout from Kaibeezy.
Typically on the DailyTurismo we regurgitate a bunch of facts and let our readers ask the questions, but today we throw process out the window for this post and just ask questions. First, what do you think of this 2001 Lada 110 1.5GLI 16-Valve bidding on ebay for $202 reserve-not-met with 6 days to go located in Arlington, MA? Does it make you want to ask a bunch of questions too?
