Tranny tube is in the back, near the firewall, on the passenger side. There is no dipstick from the factory. It will have a locking cap on it. It might be partially obscured by the air filter tube, not sure on your engine.

so an e-420 can't be worth more than $5000? is that what you're saying?
It can be dressed up with body aeros to look AMG but AMG is all about the engine.
I hope he did not pay more than 5 grand and that he had it fully inspected.
Check for noise tapping coming from the valve covers,signs of oil feed tube issues common to that M119 engine. Inspect spring perches. Change the transmission fluid and filter. RRead the diy's on www.benzworld.org w210 section.

Ask questions before you do anything you are not sure of. From buying parts to diy to finding a good indie mb shop if you find yourself in over your head.
