Alexander Vinogradov talked about the most interesting options for crossovers and SUVs on the secondary market.
Today for 600 thousand rubles, among worthy four-wheel drive vehicles, you can find only a 15-year-old foreign car with a mileage of 200 thousand km! And only Chevrolet Niva will be younger – for 600 thousand rubles. give quite bearable 6-7 year old SUV.
How do you choose a worthy copy?
When choosing, pay attention to the condition of the body and the presence of corrosion. However, the paint quality of Shniva has always been satisfactory.
But the four-wheel drive transmission requires a thorough inspection. After all, even on the classic Niva it works to the max, and even more so on the heavier Chevy. So immediately after the purchase it is better to change the oil in the gearbox, transfer case and both gearboxes. Check the condition of the anthers of the CV joints on the front axle and propeller shaft.
The problematic link in the car has always been the engine. For an SUV, the Zhiguli engine is downright weak: with a working volume of 1.7 liters, it produces only 80 horsepower, so you have to turn it often. Many connoisseurs believe that the Niva is at least 20 hp short. The maximum load reduces the resource and increases fuel consumption. But for this car there are always spare parts and consumables at affordable prices, and you can find them in almost any store.
