disagree  Leslie Gabor (X): Too casual, take care is generally used to say "good-bye"

  -> Yes, it very often is. At the same time it is not too casual (I beg to disagree), this is what is exactly means - take care of yourself, sometimes followed by "Bye".

  -> Thank you
agree  Ildiko Santana: Since it is at the end of a letter, it might as well mean just that, Gabor! Bye.. Take care. It's a perfect translation in my opinion, even the explanation is correct. It didn't deserve your 'disagree'.

disagree  Olga Simon: Hardly differs from the answer above, you just added one word - "good" - which in your mind makes it less casual?

neutral  Ildiko Santana: That is more than just "vigyazz magadra" - "nagyon vigyazz magadra". I tend to agree that we might need the "of yourself" part, but it's just "care, not "good care." Besides, "vigyazz magadra" IS casual, no question about that!
