on the AC, I think that if the condenser goes, and you can't do it yourself, it's a very very expensive job. benzworld.org is a great forum.

I have never seen a condensor "go" on any old Mercedes, unless they are physically damaged from a frontal collision. From my experience bringing A/C back to life on countless old MB cars, the only parts I've ever had to replace were compressors, (a few), expansion valves, (only one, thankfully, can be a real PIA), and seals, etc. A/C systems are fairly simple and it sounds like some people here are being fleeced on repairs.
