The most common vehicles in the post-Soviet space have always been considered to be the products of the Volga automobile industry. These cars faithfully served their owners for decades. Therefore, the question of how much a VAZ 2107 weighs for scrap metal does not surprise anyone. The same applies to other car models that are subject to recycling.

The Lada Seven, according to documents, has a mass of 1049 kg. However, its weight is practically no different from any other brand of car from the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The average weight of this Soviet car, which is often scrapped, is around one ton.

Sometimes owners of relatively new cars have to go to a metal collection point. The vehicle may be damaged as a result of an accident or other accident. In some situations, from an economic point of view, the only right decision would be to scrap the car.

How much does a car weigh?

A car's directional stability and handling are also directly related to its weight.
The peak of popularity of large, heavy cars abroad occurred in the 50-60s of the last century. Then the auto industry produced truly gigantic cars. For example, the Cadillac Eldorado modification 8.2 weighed almost 3 tons. Agree that for such a weight, an appropriate makeweight is needed. But as time passed, it became clear that in order to further develop and improve the most important characteristics of the car, it was necessary to resort to reducing its overall weight. And if we compare the middle of the last century and today, cars have lost half, or even more, of their own weight. Plastic, carbon fiber reinforced plastic, light metals - all these innovations have made it possible to make the weight of a passenger car significantly lower.

Of course, for lovers of everything big and heavy, cars are produced that look like steamships that drink buckets of gasoline, but this is rather an exception to the rule.

How much does a VAZ car sold for scrap weigh?

The most common vehicles in the post-Soviet space have always been considered to be the products of the Volga automobile industry. These cars faithfully served their owners for decades. Therefore, the question of how much a VAZ 2107 weighs for scrap metal does not surprise anyone. The same applies to other car models that are subject to recycling.

The Lada Seven, according to documents, has a mass of 1049 kg. However, its weight is practically no different from any other brand of car from the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The average weight of this Soviet car, which is often scrapped, is around one ton.

Sometimes owners of relatively new cars have to go to a metal collection point. The vehicle may be damaged as a result of an accident or other accident. In some situations, from an economic point of view, the only right decision would be to scrap the car.

Sometimes drivers prefer to disassemble the car themselves. Therefore, the relevance of the question of how much a VAZ 2101 body weighs for scrap metal is understandable. Considering that Kopeyka is the oldest representative of this line of the domestic automobile industry, it is the leader among cars that can be recycled. Its scrap weight is 955 kg, of which the body takes up about 280.

Features of car recycling

Before you scrap your car, you should familiarize yourself with the principles of this procedure. The average weight of a vehicle is 1000 kg. If the entire car can be recycled, the collection point will deduct 30% for clogging. The latter includes all non-metallic elements, pollution, etc.

Let's consider how much a car for scrap metal weighs using the example of a VAZ 2105. The weight of the latter is 955 kg. Thus, taking away the blockage, we get about 660 kg. You should also take into account the price of scrap, which differs depending on the city. As a rule, in megacities, the number of rubles received for a car will significantly exceed the amount earned in a similar organization in a small locality.

Before calculating the profit from a scrapped car, you need to take into account transportation costs. If the car is a pile of metal, you need to take care of a tow truck. If there are spinning wheels and functional steering, the car can be transported in tow. Then, this expense item will not be so significant. Therefore, in order to calculate how much a Zhiguli costs when scrapped, it is not enough to know how much a VAZ 2109 or 21099 weighs for scrap metal (915 kg). It is necessary to take into account the features of recycling and the requirements of collection points. It would be useful to know the average cost of scrap metal in the region. Additional awareness will allow you to avoid fraud on the part of unscrupulous receivers.

Despite the fact that disassembling a car is a labor-intensive procedure, many owners still decide to take this step. Thus, you can sort ferrous and non-ferrous metals and hand them over separately, removing the good parts. From an economic point of view, the procedure will be justified.

Let's consider how much a VAZ 2106 weighs for scrap metal based on individual significant structural elements:

It should be noted that dismantling machine parts requires a lot of time and certain skills. In the absence of the latter, it would be more rational to recycle it entirely.

How much does the VAZ 2105 weigh?

The ancestor of the second generation classic lived on the assembly line the longest life of all the models that trace their history back to the VAZ-2101. This brought interesting metamorphoses in its role in the history of the domestic automobile industry. All models from the VAZ-2101 to the VAZ-2107 are very similar to each other and have a common ancestor - the Fiat 124. And yet we can distinguish the first generation (relatively speaking, all models with round headlights) and the second (with rectangular ones).

Causes of malfunctions and their elimination

In principle, the 2105 engine has all the typical malfunctions of carburetor in-line internal combustion engines:

• clogging of the fuel system, fuel pump, carburetor, throttle, jets and filter;
• exhaustion of the life of the air filter and microswitch;
• failure of the ignition system and stuck valves and piston rings;
• breakdown of gaskets and seals, misadjustment of cam gaps;
• production of cylinders/pistons, bearing shells;
• loosening the flywheel bolts and attachment drive belts.

But the engine diagram allows you to avoid major repairs if the timing belt breaks by 100%.

VAZ-2105 – tuning video

A person knowledgeable in design will notice that the difference is not only in the shape of the headlights: the body of the “five” is more angular (to suit the fashion of the second half of the 1970s), curved surfaces have become flatter, and the edges have become sharper. The overall proportions and even the longitudinal tilt of the body have changed. Most of the car's components were revised, so the unification of VAZ-2105 parts with previous models (2101, 2102, 2103 and 2106) is much less than with future ones (2104 and 2107). It was assumed that the VAZ-2105 would become a new sedan of the “norm” configuration (that is, a replacement for the VAZ-2101).

Changes in the fate of the “five” began when the country moved from a planned economy to a market economy. Unable to master new models, VAZ was forced to beat prices in order to survive - and here the model played an important role. Thanks to its manufacturability and investments in development that were “recaptured” a long time ago, it became one of the cheapest cars in Russia (and in the world), and when SeAZ discontinued the Oka, it became the cheapest.

The quality of production has seriously declined, but at all times it was possible to buy spare parts for a car of any quality at any price - from penniless basement ones to expensive imported ones, so each car enthusiast himself chose his own level of care for the car. The car was easily repaired by the owners, and the prices for repairs in services were and remain lower than for any other car.

The VAZ-2105 has become invincible in state competitions (traffic police fleet, post office, support programs for rural teachers, doctors), where price plays a major role. The equipment has been simplified to the maximum so that, God forbid, another manufacturer does not cross the road - in the “five” of recent years there is not even a daily mileage counter. Due to its low cost, the car was in demand in the West for some time and was even assembled in the UK. After the 2008 crisis, the program for recycling old cars again caused an explosion of interest in the “five” and forced VAZ, which was thinking about stopping its production, to extend it for another 2-3 years.

To meet the more stringent economic standards of the 21st century, the car was equipped with an injection engine. And in order to modernize the appearance, the VAZ-2105 car began to be offered in metallic colors. From an aesthetic point of view, this is a mistake: the design of the “five” was created in those years when there were no metallic paints, and metallic creates an unwinning play of glare, light and shadow. However, buyers liked this option. The end of the “five” came when the decision was made to transfer its production to IzhAvto. The plant re-evaluated the profitability of production and came to the conclusion that in the process of modernization, the VAZ-2105 practically ceased to differ from the VAZ-2107 and it was more profitable to produce one model. They left the VAZ-2107. This is an interesting fact: the VAZ-2106 and VAZ-2105 lasted on the assembly line for almost the same time, 30 and 31 years, respectively. However, the VAZ-2106, the last representative of the 1st generation of Zhiguli, had a circulation of more than twice as much.

Maintenance regulations

Knowing what kind of oil is used in the engine and the type of liquid with which the cooling system is filled, you can carry out maintenance of the “five” internal combustion engine yourself.
