Because it's an Opel. Opel is to Germany as Daewoo is to Korea...

Oh wait... that's because Daewoos are also Opels...

A Vectra will do well with periodic maintenance and some foresight, but if the point is saving money on repairs, might as well just sell it and buy a smaller car. Even parts for Japanese engines that are large enough and powerful enough for the Vectra will cost quite a bit if something breaks... just ask Camry and Accord owners.
