Even for $165 I'd have to ask what insanity possessed you?
I've had several that are probably contenders from notoriously unreliable British cars through to some home-grown lemons but I think the award has to go to a client provided (and brand new) VR Commodore Acclaim which chewed through rear tyres (like <5k km) because the rear axle housing was bent like a banana. It wasn't too bad otherwise apart from the agricultural engine and it was the first locally produced model to offer airbags in both front seats but the steadfast refusal of Holden to acknowledge an issue was what really did me in.
