Black fluid is bad, very, very bad. The fluid should be red. Try changing the fluid and filter but I think you are going to need another transmission.

If previous owner never change trans fluid & filter, that engine may not be as good as you think. Black trans fluid at 150k, had to never been changed out. I would be thinking what was added to it to keep it working long enough for you drive it away.
