Hey you, since there is already a thread in which is asked what was your first car I would like to know what was your “repair-intensive vehicle” that you once had in possession? With me it was not the Omega but a Ford Fiesta (2) Bj82 80tsd km for 500DM which I had driven about 1 year and put in about 2500DM (workshop costs). It started with that the trouser tube had broken through, then a membrane which had the carburettor somehow opened and closed the leak. The engine vibration dampers had to be changed, the ignition coil was changed several times, so a capacitor cable (length 2m) was changed because the vehicle always stopped, the starter was changed and at the end was a parking link for the carburettor defective (had to do with the choke) so the carburettor was repeatedly flamed and the air filter melted. Then I put the box on the scrap and a neighbor of me in the place did not want to go around) but I did it all day.
