It's got a great running engine, the transmission is probably just in need of an adjustment/new spring kit, the A/C works well, many new parts. But apparently only likes first gear now.
Grr.

Don't get discouraged so quickly, the symptoms you describe sound like a vacuum line fell off, or the kickdown switch is stuck.
As bad as it may sound, a dishonest potential buyer with a little MB knowledge could have even disconnected a vacuum line deliberately after a test drive, hoping to buy the car later for next to nothing because you might assume the trans, is shot.
Get it checked out by someone who knows MB's before you give the car away.
