In Yekaterinburg, a 2007 GAZ-31105 Volga was offered for sale. These cars stopped rolling off the line in Nizhny Novgorod in 2008, though some batches reportedly appeared in 2009. That makes this unit one of the last Volgas released. The 2008 shift to the Volga Siber marked a break from the earlier models, so the 31105 is often regarded as the final, authentic Volga in the lineup.
Such Volgas still surface on the market, but finding a genuinely well-preserved example is increasingly rare. The Yekaterinburg specimen stands out visually: since 2007 it has driven under 50,000 kilometers, and the exterior, based on the photos, appears to have been exceptionally well cared for. The exterior finish suggests meticulous storage and careful use over the years.
On the inside, the car projects a preserved period feel. The 31105 variant here is often referred to by enthusiasts as the “President Lux” trim, with leather seating and some upgraded elements that weren’t common on simpler configurations. Notable touches include a ceiling lamp design that hints at a dash of luxury compared with base models. Under the hood lies a Chrysler 2.4 engine rated at about 137 horsepower, delivering a surprisingly spirited drive for a Volga. This combination of preserved interior and surprisingly capable powertrain makes the car an attractive option for collectors and enthusiasts who want a tangible link to the brand’s final era. A seller asking price around 300,000 rubles translates to a modest entry point for a rare classic in several markets, depending on local interest and import potential. (source Auto.ru)
