I had a very good friend who owned a '99 from almost new, black over black leather and well optioned also, never let him down and was a joy to drive and ride in.
Congrats on the return of this car, given the history, colors, and options I'd be very tempted to own this one also.

Well, I owned one from new, and let me tell you - they're definitely NOT trouble-free cars to keep in-repair. I found them to be very costly and a continuing headache to keep up with all the malfunctions mine presented as the years and miles clicked by. FWIW - the turbo /FAILING on mine was the first thing to go. That was a big ol bad surprise to encounter.
In retrospect, I don't think they're much of a value as contrasted with what else out there is extremely affordable too. I'd advise a jump to a very well-priced CDI, for anyone considering the W210 diesel.
