While you might get lucky find a nice 96/97 E300 for $6000 as Sunil
suggests, I think it more likely you'll find a nice one will cost $9000 -
$12000. At $6k I would be suspicious of hidden problems or a clueless owner
who may not have maintained it properly.

As far as the cost of barrery replacement, take a look at
http://hybridcars.about.com/od/hybridcarfaq/f/batterycost.htm
which shows the batteries may cost $3000 and up to replace.
As far as mpg's are concerned, I've heard and read the same as Kaleb is

When you say Mobil 1 ATF, is that a fully synth one, or regular stuff?
