A very common, very expensive issue with the 99's and some 00's is the dreaded "fault code 08 ACC problem." This is caused by a mixing flap control rod that breaks and prevents the ACC from controlling temperature on either the driver or passenger side of the car. It is around $2,000 to fix, since you have to pull the dash and console to repair it. MANY owners of '99's have posted to this board about this problem. If you have access to the maintenance history and the repair has been made, ok, but if not, I would stay away and wait for a 2000.
