X2. I think you're getting a transmission flare.

Sounds like a nice Benz, and I don't want to rain on your parade, but you might have some more work to do before you shell out your hard earned cash and seal the deal on this one. Did you have the car inspected before you agreed to the deal? What does the owner have in the way of service and repair records, especially regarding the tranny?
