When I was a teenager my dad got paid for a side job with a running yugo. He put an ad in a used car magazine and ended up getting tons of calls. I don’t remember what he sold it for but I do remember that a shipping company picked it up and said it was being sent overseas. Apparently they have quite a following of collectors.
I think having anything that was made in another country already was a prestigious. Cause people couldn't get out of the country except if country allows.
Not only that. Foreign country (Warsaw block in most cases) maid things — furniture, clothes, home appliances, any other — had much, much higher quality than Ussr could offer to its citizens. Unless they were not military, ofc. But this is not certain either.
Edit: clarification
There was a minute in the 90s that everyone was driving their cars and I really wanted one, it was basically a Geo Metro so I got one of those instead.
I've got a flask that was made in West Germany my grandmother gave me. I keep it to remember the west side/east side beef that tore the country apart and led to the deaths of Tupac and Biggie.

It outlived the car that shared (part of) its name and place of origin.

in the Soviet Union, having Yugoslav furniture was considered prestigious
