I am not buying a new one. Or anything. Idk. But why pay 2200 for a machine from the 90s when you can get a machine from 2013 for 3000 ---

Bump. Ended up getting a 2WD 2005 Ural. Bought it from the original owner, my friends dad. She’s been used in most winters since the purchase as it was his DD (didn’t own a car either) so she’s rusty with some nice patina which adds to the deserved character, so I think at least! I don’t mind as I’ll be doing the same thing with it. Needs some TLC but I don’t mind.

I’d buy some undercoating spray and start soaking it regularly… What year? They have a gambit of issues that could stand to be improved upon for reliability. ---
