I agree completely. If fit "needs a shot of freon" that means it has a leak. If it has a leak, it means it needs repairs. If it needs repairs, IT DOES NOT JUST NEED A SHOT OF FREON

That's usually the case, I just spent $1400 on my 240D that needed a charge.

However, in the case of this car, fixing the AC is a trivial expense.

I agree with you on this case. This is a classic that deserves to be restored. I was refering to the thousands of chevy's and fords sold on flea bay everyday that "just need a shot of freon"

Yup, it's probably safe to assume you will be spending another $1000 on the AC.
