The reason was, because the Soviet Union has cancelled their delivery of Ladas, so the GDR hadn't enough cars for their citizens. By the same reason, the GDR has also bought 5000 Mazda 323, 5000 Citroen GS and some Volvo 244 (I think, 2000). By the way: this car-deal was one of the reasons, why the GDR crushed down in 1989. This was the beginning to spend more Western money for consumption, than to earn it.
