Are you looking to buy a car and want to find an alternative to foreign-made SUVs? Preference for the domestic auto industry or limited finances - it doesn't matter for whatever reason you are looking for an "iron horse" in the Russian market. In any case, there is an alternative. This is a NIVA car.
Instructions
Step 1
This car gave rise to the inventors of foreign-made autos. On its basis, many "JEANS" of our time have been created. Of course, like any vehicle, NIVA has both pros and cons. Perhaps the interior is outdated by modern standards, and the body does not fit the Lexus, but many foreign SUVs will envy how this car is able to “knead the mud”. In order not to be mistaken with the choice of a NIVA car in the secondary market, pay attention to some of the nuances.
Step 2
Pay attention to the electronic system of the car. Check the trouble-free operation of the "stove", direction indicators, emergency signal, brake lights, high-low beam. This is necessary to avoid painful and costly repairs. It is agonizing because NIVA does not have a single communicative control unit, and relays for each circuit are scattered under the dashboard. To change them, you will have to disassemble the car completely.
Step 3
Also note that NIVA has a very sensitive gas pedal. But this cannot be avoided, this nuance can be eliminated by rearranging the arms of the gas rocker. Pay attention also to when the oil was changed in the car's components, as this is an expensive pleasure. Only in the transmission does it change in four places, and yet you still need to change the oil in the engine and sprinkle the propeller shafts (payment for four-wheel drive).
Step 4
Finally, do not overlook the exterior condition of the bodywork. The advantage of NIVA may be that on cars produced before 2000, body iron was used stronger and more reliable. Inside the cabin, pay attention to the condition of the plastic parts. Due to the poor quality, they can be severely scratched.
Step 5
Choose a car with soul, since whatever the pros and cons of the vehicle, the main thing is whether you feel comfortable in it. After all, a car is a second home.
