You should get AT LEAST 150,000 miles out of the four speed auto box, probably more.
The four speed in our 190E has about 250K-miles and is tip-top. All the trannies in our 190E 2.3's lasted longer.
The 1997 car has the 722.6, and if it's been updated (new ETC, etc.) the five speed will also last at least 150K, probably much more if maintained. (Maintenance essential for the four speed too)
The W210 is a good car, but can have it's little faults that eat away at people. The evap temp sensor, window regulators, control arm bushings, seat frames, dash cracks, AMM's and other things tend to be off putting to folks used to Camry's.
That said, the W210 doesn't seem to have any catastrophic flaws and a car that has been cared for can be an excellent used car buy. I would NEVER pay top dollar for a garage queen, prefering a car that has been driven.
