Well it all depends on your purpose why you are buying a vehicle. The options grow as you add "wants" from your "needs" of your purpose.

If the UAZ will be in Phil, I would consider getting one especially if it will be worth my hard earned money. Design of the vehicle is classic, but since we seldom see this kind of design, it just brings fresh view in our eyes. But I bet the local manufacturer of AUV, will not get a hard time copying it, hahaha. Then it will be difficult to tell which one is made in Russia and which one is made in Cavite. :D
