Worth the repair?

Worth the repair?

Need your help on it.

This was my father's car he got it boxed when it was released

Was used rarely and now was sitting from 2017 till now

Changed the fuel pump and it started like nothing happened and drove it around the block no problem for now

It is worth the repair?

Mercedes e200 kompressor 2.0 1999 and it has 102.000 km

A/c question

I own 3 w210s. A 1999 E300TD 240K miles, another E300TD 105K miles and a 1998 E320 wagon 61K miles. I live in a place where a/c is required pretty much year round. Recently the high mileage E300 required leaky evaporator replacement which is beyond the scope of my technical capabilities. The local independent shop did a great job and now the a/c is ice cold but the service cost almost US$7K. Will the other 2 eventually come to this fate and if so what are the alternatives to the full dash out replacement?

Note to self, do not reuse old pulleys on new alternators.

Installed a new bosch alternator that didnt come with a pulley.
Used the old on off the MB alternator, i guess i did not achieve the full 80lbs of torque on that nut or maybe the pulley was worn from age.
But it lost the belt and spun the pulley.
Made it home without overheating, was around 110c but not near the 120c mark.
Spend the money on an alternator that already has the pulley installed, without a vice and proper tools you cannot get that pulley tight enough.

Selling my 2000 E430 4matic soon

It's got 153,000 miles on it with a clean rust free body. It has a few dings but nothing major. It's green with a tan interior and it's got the xenon headlights. What do you guys think I should list it for and would anyone here be interested? Pics attached are a couple years old but the car basically looks the same

Edit: It also had the AC system completely redone around 110,000 miles, had valve cover gaskets and spark plugs replaced about 30,000 miles ago, last year I had the transmission serviced along with the transfer case and both differentials, last year I also had both from axles replaced because the boots were shot
