Thanks for the info. Sounds like inexpensive insurance. Even though car is 25-years old, it only has 111k on the clock. Couple minor dings here and there, but overall, pretty much in "brand-new" condition.
One small fingernail sized clear coat flake on the hood, otherwise paint is great. Interior upholstery pretty much new condition, no cracks on the dash.
I'm thinking of moving my 8-hole 15x7 rims from my 300CE to the 190D. With the correct tire size, they fit fine, (according to the specs). But, the 15-hole 14" chrome pancake rims don't look to bad on the W201 with its lines. Tires for the smaller rim are certainly less expensive and car doesn't ride too bad as is. I'll check more about the vacuum pump.
