I just bought a '98 E300TD with 148K mi. and also loaded. I paid $10,500 US. Plus another thousand to have it shipped from CA to VA.

I agree, the tranny fluid should be changed. Mercedes has gone away from the "lifetime" theme and now recommends changes on the newer cars. That is one of the first things I did to my car. Remember you have to buy a dipstick "tool" to properly refill and the plug lock you must replace on the dipstick tube. If you don't change the torque converter it should take about 4qts. of fluid, which is about half of its capacity. Only use the MB fluid also.
