driving it is the most important part, you have a great history so you will know if it feels right. When i bought mine i drove 5 or 6 examples and surprisingly they all felt differently to an extent and i sealed the deal on the one that just felt "right". It happened to be a low mileage 97' that was local to me which certainly helped, it was also the cheapest but honestly it just felt the best to drive.

it's not fast and (knock on wood) has been pretty reliable, but it handles great and it's fun to drive the piss out of the 2.5 and not be doing triple digit speeds. it's a great little car that i really enjoy taking out. look for the basics, have a PPI done so there's no major surprises and if it speaks to you go for it.

I love '99s. Why are you concerned? It's over 20 years old, so the care and maintenance that it has had over the years matters, but if it has been taken care of it should be fine.
