Depends on the previous owner; if he drives hard and never had the car serviced then most likely the car will have more than just electronic gremlins.

I would say my transmission is in good shape, but as the miles go up (50K miles plus), I definitely view the transmission as the week link. There is no truth to the nonsense of "lifetime tranny fluid". Unless one views lifetime as being defined as when the transmission fails.

I'm at 69,000 miles, the engine itself is solid. I've had 5 tranny fluid changes ... I recommend that others change their fluid often too make sure there aren't any issues.
