Used Opel Kadett for Sale near Houston, TX

The two litre 8 valve Opel motor is robust and welcomes a beating. With the lowered sport suspension, the car sticks around the corners and the steering feels reponsive, so too the braking on the pedal. There is some body flex in these older models, but aids in good handling.

Very fast for 140 Carb with 4 gears forward - build quality ok, its german afterall - apearrance good for styling - ownership cost lowish, Very Fun car en reliable. Shops have lots of Mods for the car - the engine is one of the strongest I encountered. Once drove almost 30 000 kms without functioning water transfer in radiator. the engine got hotter but never hot enough to shudder...no damage done. The wheel arhes fit 19 inch wheels. becuase she is a 4 speed the gears are strong and I can cruise 60 in top gear, and speed up in that same gear to Top end about 160'ish..without puching all the way - spacious inside, I have long legs and there is more that enough room. Boot also big.

Like: *Very reliable *Strong *Cheap (Got it for a bargain, R20K) *Torque *Quite light on fuel (IF driven nicely) *Good brakes *Fun to drive *Maintenance is cheap Dislike: *Low kW, but normal for a 8v *Built quality not so good (Rattles) *Dealer parts are very expensive *Other models doesn't look so attractive

The most powerful and quickest of all the cars I have owned. Wish I hadn't sold it. I had real fun customizing the exterior of the car and making it a one of a kind! I even got it into the Speed 'n Sound Mag!!

1994 Opel Kadett 200Ts. 25 were owned by the flying squad and rumour has it that none survived. All written off, due to the insane amount of torque steer when having a lead foot and responding to an Alpha. Had a few mod's on my vehicle including exhaust/dino.Used to enjoy giving E36 M3's a hiding.
