Should I stay away from the older Merc E200 K?

Hi there,

I looking at a 1998 Mercedes-Benz E200 Kompressor (Sports, petrol) with 52k miles on the clock. Local mechanic says this petrol model is troublesome, specifically oil leaks with typical repair bill of at least €3k, and rear axle bearings wear - wait for a diesel model is the advice... too pesimistic or not?
