I thought of tracking down the last owner.. the junkyard is in a small-ish town in Utah and the car has had an engine transplant, so odds are a Mercedes guy owned it.
I'd believe it has 259k, it was rusty as hell, but like you pointed out I know from experience that MB odometers aren't trustworthy- I don't think I've ever had one that was accurate.
I might just drop it in and go from there. Worst case scenario, my auto trans is still good.
