The purchase (La compra)

ENGLISH

Well, as I said one day I started to look for the car, it is really easy, we just went to autogidas.lt and then we did not understand anything :P GOOD BLESS GOOGLE TRANSLATOR =)
Also Marius was an unpayable help to me, because he was making all the calls (even when my Lithuanian is not so bad, I already now how to say "good bye") and also coming with me to see the cars.
There are many cars between 500 and 1000 Lt, after several unsuccesfull calls finally we found one Lada with all papers, without any mechanical problem and with insurance. The owner was supossed to be an old guy, so everything seemed perfect =)
Finally, Stepan, Marius and I went to see that car, It was in the other fucken corner of Vilnius, we toke a trolleybus to Stotis (40 min) and then a bus in Stotis to that Village in the sourrondings of Vilnius (other 40 min). The wife and the son of the old guy were waiting for us in the bus stop with his BMW, he was this kind of chandal guy from Kaunas :P with some gold stuff in his hands and neck and with a huge sound equipment in the car. He was also shaking all the time, so I am not sure if he was not on drugs :P
We arrive to that place and he showed us the car, Stepan and I went also under the car and we were checking how its down looked. Of course they can steal us, but at least we can try to avoid this posibility. We discovered that we has a little oil flowing from transmission, so we told them. The kaunas guy called to his father and they said that if we wanted the car they could fix it.
It was also a little corrosion under the car and I was really afraid of that, so I toke some pictures to ask the expert (Fernando :P). When I sent the pictures he told me that it's not so deep so It is not that big deal.
Next day we called more people, but it was allways the same, I don't have technical inspection, or you gotta fix this or that...bla bla bla...so I decided to buy the first Lada I saw :D
We met the shaking guy again and we did all papers in one hour because there was a place to do it out of Vilnius near his house.
So this is the history of how I bought an old Lada to drugsman, and how Marius and I came back home driving it through the Vilnius...OUR FIRST KILOMETERS =)))))))
By the way, the car is not called Lada but VAZ, but it is the same car with diferent name (things of Russians)...and now after Czech girls suggestion it is called Sofčka.
See you soon

Bien, como dije un día empecé a buscar el coche, fue bastante fácil, simplemente fuimos a www.autogidas.lt y no entendimos nada :P BENDITO GOOGLE TRANSLATOR =)
También Marius fue una ayuda impagable, porque estuvo haciendo las llamadas (aunque mi Lituano no es tan malo, que ya se decir "hasta luego" :P ) y viniendo conmigo a ver coches.
Hay muchísimos coches entre 500 y 1000 Litas, despues de varias llamadas fallidas, finalmente encontramos un Lada con todos los papeles, sin problemas mecánicos y con seguro. El dueño se supone que era un señor mayor, así que todo paracía perfecto =)
Finalmente, Stepan, Mariys y yo fuimos a ver el coche, estaba en la otra punta de Vilnius, cogimos el Trolleybus para ir a Stotis (40 min) y allí un bus hacia aquel pueblo en las afueras de Vilnius (otros 40 min). La mujer y el hijo del dueño estaban esperándonos en la parada del bus con el BMW del chico. Era ese tipo de chandalero de Kaunas :P con oro en las manos y en el cuello y con un equipo de música bestial en el coche (parecía de Móstoles :P). Además estaba temblando todo el tiempo, así que no estoy seguro de si no estaba drogado :P
Llegamos al lugar y nos enseñó el coche, Stepan y yo nos metimos incluso debajo del coche y estuvimos chequeando como estaba por debajo. Por supuesto pueden robarnos, pero al menos intentamos evitar dicha posibilidad. Descubrimos que había un poco de aceite fluyendo desde la transmisión, así que decidimos decírselo. El chico de Kaunas llamó a su padre y dijeron que si queríamos el coche lo arreglarían.
También había un poco de corrosión, y a mi me asustó, así que saqué algunas fotos para consultar con el experto (Fernando :P). Cuando le mandé las fotos me dijo que no era tan profunda, así que no es importante.
Al día siguiente llamamos a más gente, pero era siempre lo mismo. No tengo ITV, tienes que arreglar esto o lo otro...bla bla bla...así que decidí comprar el primer Lada que habíamos visto :D
Quedamos con el chico tembloroso de nuevo e hicimos todos los papeles en una hora, porque había una oficina de tráfico fuera de Vilnius y cerca de su casa.
ASí que esta es la historia de como compré un viejo Lada al hombre drogas, y de como Marius y yo lo condujimos a través de Vilnius de vuelta a casa...NUESTROS PRIMEROS KILÓMETROS =))))))
Por cierto, el coche en realidad no se llama Lada sino VAZ, pero es el mismo coche con diferente nombre (cosas de los Rusos). Y tras la propuesta de las chicas checas, se llama Sofčka
Hasta pronto :D
