'99, 2000 W210 Issues?

[c_ron]

Am on the verge of trading my '96 E320 for a 2000 E320, as I still very much like the body style; and my tall frame fits well in it.

Am I likely to be facing the same expensive evaporator replacement/repair with the newer one, even though it only has 60k and is in terrific condition, simply because it's now 7 years old?

Any other issues I should take into account making the deal?

Thanks for any insight.
