Until you drive it and do some in person diagnosing, "wants to rev high before it shifts" could mean anything... could be as easy as a shift linkage adjustment or as bad as a transmission replacement.

Can't say I agree with the statement that "300Ds aren't worth more than $1000 anymore despite their condition because it's a real hobby car." That's simply not true for w124s (as the OP was inquiring about... nor w123s for that matter). These ain't Triumphs or MGs...
