Could be an excuse for a holiday as well.
Thanks for the info.

Prices for a somewhat functionning one with nigh mileage can get as low as 400€ (lower than tha, expect the chassis to be dead, and get ready to put in another engine, which you can get for 100-200€). 1000-1500€ and you have something in okay shape. Once you reach 2000€, you have stuff that has been fully restored or maintained in good condition.

Ah yes I forgot, I will sing only state-approved music with the required state-approved emotion and at the state-approved decibel level.
What's the state of Wartburgs there?

>considering everything we hear about Romania is less than positive.
Romania had a good foundation in interwar period. They kept evolving from the shit it got after WWII in the communist era and now like most other second-world countries it's trying hardly to get back on it's feet post fall of the regime.
It's position is quite bad because Romania didn't stick with fellow post-eastern-blockers like Ukraine, Belarus or even former Yugoslav republics, nor did it take it's requirements to develop like maybe Poland or Czechia did.

311 are a bit more pricey, especially those that are rust-free.
353 are aplenty and fairly cheap since people like them less than Trabants. You can easily get one that can run for 1000€ or less. And if you are lucky, you could even grab a later one that has a VW engine instead of it's ancient two-strokes.
The 1.3 are clay unicorns, meaning it's not very common to find one, but it's not expensive either.
If you manage to find a Volkspolizei Wartburg though, you will probably strike fear onto any east-german over the age of 40.

The size of this type of cars always amused me.
