	Moskvitch cars were never meant to be a fashion statement. They were sturdy, good on substandard roads and were offered at an affordable price. The 1960s and early 1970s were the glory days, when the cars were exported to many countries throughout the world. Demand always exceeded production, so people had to wait a long time for a new car. Until the 1980s all Moskvitch cars were compact rear-wheel drive sedans and station wagons with solid rear axle suspended with leaf springs.		Moskvitch cars were never meant to be a fashion statement. They were sturdy, good on substandard roads and were offered at an very affordable price on forign markets. For example, in England [[Moskvich-412]] was sold with price near the price of Morris Mini car. The 1960s and early 1970s were the glory days, when the cars were exported to many countries throughout the world. Demand always exceeded production, so people had to wait a long time for a new car. Until the 1980s all Moskvitch cars were compact rear-wheel drive sedans and station wagons with solid rear axle suspended with leaf springs.

	The Moskvitch was also produced in Bulgaria (see Moskvitch (Bulgaria)) between 1966 and 1990 on the basis of complete knockdown (CKD) kits.		The Moskvitch was also produced in Bulgaria (see Moskvitch (Bulgaria)) between 1966 and 1990 on the basis of complete knockdown (CKD) kits.

The factory, which had been renamed to OAO Moskvitch (Moskvitch Joint Stock Company) in the early 1990s, shut down all production in 2002 and the final official bankruptcy was announced in 2007.

	Several attempts to restart production have been made over the past 3 years, but to no avail. OAO Moskvitch apparently still exists as a company "on paper", and may still be the title-holder to the plant facilities, but Moskvitch no longer operates as a going concern; the company has no income, produces no products, and has no employees.

	Recently, a portion of the disused Moskvitch plant has been acquired by OAO Avtoframos, a 38%-62% joint venture between the City of Moscow and French automaker [[Renault]] SA respectively. In 2005, Avtoframos commenced assembly of [[Renault Logan]] sedans from imported complete knock-down kits (CKDs). The presence of Avtoframos means that at least part of the Moskvitch plant is active once again, but the majority of the sprawling plant remains abandoned, apparently still owned by the dormant Moskvitch company.
