Advice on buying a high mileage automatic

I'm a newbie here been leaking for awhile. I've found a 2008 automatic with FSH question is how realisable is the automatic box? Does the oil need to be changed as in a previous FFRR Vogue I owned

If you search the forum you'd be more concerned buying a manual than the auto. It's pretty much bulletproof and it's either working or not when you see a car.
The manual can have issues ranging from DMF, clutch and slave cylinder. Not that the manual is faulty, just more problematic! MY15

Rear Diff, Haldex, front diff/transferbox and the autobox. i do the work myself and cant remember the cost of the oils but i will check when i get home as i keep all the receips for parts, Front and rear diffs take less than 1lt each. when you do the autobox you will only get about 4lts out
