C250 Diesel sport (1999) has anyone owned one?

[working class]

As above really, I really like the look of the one below, but im sure I read somewhere that the auto gearboxes are prone to failure?

If anyone has owned one can you give me some pointers as for what to look out for if possible please?

Thanks for that, maybe im thinking of the C36 AMG and getting confused?

I take it from the milages you have done they are a good car then? What sort of mpg were you getting?
