I have had 2 experiences with Yugo cars.
#1.) My parents purchased a brand new Honda Civic (or accord) in 1988. When they did, they received a brand new 1987 Yugo GV, for FREE. The dealership had ordered a ton of Yugo the year before, and was unable to move them all.
#2.) I purchased a 1986 Yugo GV when I was in my early 20's. When the car ran, it was a marvel. 8 gallon tank, 40+ MPG..... when it ran. When it didn't run, I was purchasing junk Yugos for 100 bucks, and scrounging parts from them. My 1986 Yugo actually later became a 1987 Yugo GV Convertible after purchasing one, and finding the body to be in better condition than my own. Over the course of 16 months, I probably purchased 7 Yugo's, all 'for parts' to keep a single car running. Over those 16 months, I'm fairly confident as much time under the hood as I did behind the wheel.
