Reliability question

Hi all,

I am a newbie here. I am currently considering buying a second hand w168 A160 for my wife and looking at 2001 - 2003 model. What I have been hearing is that this particular model is quite problematic and has reliability issues. I have been reading in some forums that timing chain often breaks and causes lots of issues. I also read that auto gearbox often fails.I really like this model, however have lots of concerns about its reliability and wanna make sure that I am not buying a time bomb.
To help me to make an informative decision, I am just wondering if you could share your experience in owning this car? Your comments are much appreciated.

Cheers,

DD
