Yugo Engines & Motors

In the United States, this low cost subcompact manufactured in the former Yugoslavia, was sold during the years of 1985 through 1991. The sponsor of the car was Malcolm Bricklin looking for a simple vehicle to import. The goal was to find a product that could help to build the economy of the former Yugoslavia. The Yugo was not wildly popular, although the sales peaked at 45,000 annually. The company has ties with Fiat and still manufacturers cars, although not for the U.S, market.

At the time of its introduction, the price under $4000 made it the lowest price car in the American market. At first, it sold well, but negative press and UN sanctions against Yugoslavia resulted in the car being withdrawn. The car was marketed as a entry car for people who would otherwise only have been able to afford a used car, and as a second car for wealthier car owners.

Even the critics of the car admit that the price was right, although the car was jestingly referred to as disposable. Advocates of the car argue that the perception of the car as disposable led to some owners ignoring basic maintenance practices, some of which are critical in the Yugo.

Finding Parts

Needless to say, if you own a Yugo from the time period when they were being marketed in the U.S., it is obvious that you value your investments and want to maintain the operational efficiency of your vehicle. If it has become time to replace the engine, you may have had some concerns about finding parts.
