ARO 240 was produced from 1983 to 2003. The cost of the car is difficult to determine, as to find it on sale in Europe is almost impossible. However, it is unlikely that a car will cost a lot of money.

Firstly, somewhere in Latvia goes, and even pass inspection rare Russian minivan VAZ-2120 "Hope" 1999 issue (see photo). This exclusive car was a kind of Russian response to the "minivan" fashion 90s. However, the car is not earned much success, and technically, left much to be desired.
