Seems a crazy price? Body looks good though. Typical dash cracks. Not sure what "shifting points are slightly off" means but I think MB automatics upshift too quickly, at least on the diesels I've owned. I tend to manually shift from "S" to "D" to counter this.

When you said "works as it should" I assumed you meant that literally. If there is air in the lines you need to bleed and get rid of it? Is that the system where you have to back-bleed by connecting the brake bleed nipple to the clutch slave bleed nipple and pump the brakes? If so be sure to

There’s more truth to that than you might want to believe. I’ve done it on a W114 and W108. Horrible, nasty job. The only positive thing is that as these are older cars, the level of complexity in the dash is extremely low, meaning there’s very little stuff in there to goof up while you’re
