1983 Vauxhall Cavalier GL 1.6 petrol from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A great second hand car
Faults:
Stereo packed up at 85,000 miles.
Brake pads needed replacing at 93,000 miles and again at 111,000 miles.
Suspension fault developed at 102,000 miles.
General Comments:
The Cavalier gave me five years of reliable service.
It was a very comfortable and spacious family car.
I enjoyed its smooth handling and swift performance.
Cost £1,600 at seven years and proved to be a bargain buy.
Depreciated to £500 by the time it was sold.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Take a reality check mate, you are talking about a car that's 18 years old!
The MK3 Cavs are great. I had a 1990 2L with 176,000 on the clock with no probs until the missus pranged it. I would recommend one to any one.
