"A good bargain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well, I had to change a few parts: exhaust, electric wires, timming and alternator belts...

I intend to go again to the service and replace the front shock absorters.

I use Mobil 1, semisyntectic oil, 10 W 40. The previos owner used Esso 15 W 40. If someone knows which one is better please tell me.

General comments?

It's a nice car. This is my first car and I bought it because I wanted a german car (I was locking for a Golf 2, Kadett or BMW 316, 85-90). Well, I choose the Kadett. Instead of its age and mileage, it is still running well. Never let me down, and I'm using it daily in Bucharest. I can't race it (only 75 hp) but outside the town, it is going well at 120 km/h. I am waiting to see how long the motor will running, because I want to replace it.

Now, I will repaint it because it has a few point of rust. I look forward to see the new look.

Good cars these, quick cars for the engine size, probably because, unlike today's barges, weighs well under a ton! Best oil would be the mobil 1 10w40.

I have a Kadett Caravan in with 1.3 engine and 60 HP with a 4 speeds gearbox and its running with 160 Km\h. I like this car. I want to mount a 1.7 TD engine from Vectra with 75 HP I think is a good choose. anyway I love my car :D.
