It’s a sad day in Serbia, it’s a sad day for Yugo devotees the world over. Serbia’s only carmaker and producer of the much-maligned Yugo will be sold next year, the government announced yesterday.

Zastaya, the company which produced the Yugo, will be in final lockdown by April.

Introduced to U.S. buyers in 1985 at a price of $3,990 the Yugoslavian-built Yugo sounded like a bargain. It was, by far, the cheapest new car you could get. But the Yugo’s reputation for poor quality garnered some scathing reviews including the classic Consumer Reports, review calling the car “hard to recommend at any price” and concluded that “you’d be better off buying a good used car than a new Yugo.”

The Yugo also stands out as the only car from a non-U.S. manufacturer to make the Hagerty Insurance “Most Questionable Cars” list.

“I threatened a couple of times to buy one and leave it in somebody’s driveway,” said McKeel Hagerty, president of Hagerty Insurance.

Long live the Yugo.
