The gearbox doesn't suffer as much because of less power. I had a 99 that ran strong at 250,000, but was sold. Now I drive a 90 (same as 99, just different tail)which is at 280,000 and hasn't caused me any problem, and I mean not a single problem, over the last 50,000 km. Also I don't maintain too much, due to no time etc. I find 99s to be simple and fun to work on, just a bit prone to rust and a bit slow. I'd say with your mileage, drive it and see what happens.
