Sorry to introduce myself with such a laundry list of issues. I'm just going crazy, and would appreciate any and all advice you guys could provide.

OK, you want advice, here it is:
Unless you have unlimited funds to throw at mechanics for all the work this car will need over the next few years, get rid of this car and get yourself something reliable and cheap to maintain.
Mercedes are not cheap cars, you can mitigate this somewhat by being very handy and doing the work yourself. From your postings, you appear to be in the position to do neither. This is reality, you need to concentrate on school, not keeping some old car running.
I'm not trying to be cruel, but you need to take the emotion out of this problem, and concentrate on what is important right now, which is getting your degree.
