Ouch! $10K!
This could be really scary, then ... is this typical or unusual? I can do the HVAC stuff and deal with trans leaks, probably, but major R&R of components like transfer cases gets a bit expensive for me! Appreciate the info!

I think $10K is more unusual than typical. I have a 98 E320 4matic wagon that currently has 110K with no issues other than a minor trans fluid leak. Easily solved with a new pan gasket and o-rings for some sensor on the side of the case. Total bill was around $160 at my indy including several liters of the expen$ive trans fluid. Great car, solidly built - as long as you don't drive it like a teenager trying to impress his friends, should be reliable transportation for years to come.

don't get me wrong, we love the car. If it wasn't for the starmark, I probably wouldn't feel that way.
Our warranty runs out in about seven months, and we're hoping we're through all of the major problems as we'd like to keep the car indefinitely.

Missed the first one - was probably overpriced at $10.5K - 104K miles ... lack of records was what caused me to wait - someone else bought it.
