I have a 96 benz e320 it has 137000 miles the trans went out is it worth fixing

Depends on the condition of the rest of the car and your specific situation. If the car is really nice it's worth maybe $3,000 so take that into consideration. Generally, it's cheaper to fix up a nice older car than to buy a brand new one. I'd have the rest of the car inspected to see what else it needs so you have a full picture.
