very good availability for nivas in eastern europe, almost non existent for old suzis. I've spent quite a bit of time in Belarus, Ukraine and a bit in Russia and Nivas are quite prolific.
The UK importers did have to do quite a bit of work on them to make them fit for sale in the UK, so I wouldn't buy one from eastern europe!
I've never driven a niva (although I have driven quite a few suzukis) but have heard good things about them, very capable little trucks.
weight is your enemy in a small truck, beefing up the suspension just means something else will fail. treat the disease, not the symptoms. keep your weight down. why do you need a rooftent?
