and maybe a head gasket as well

OK this is what I was asking originally. The "sometimes doesn't go
into reverse" is that a symptom of a fatal problem
For some reason I was thinking this car had a laundry list of
problems, must have confused it with another W124. Mileage is
undisclosed, but for now I'll assume it's high enough to keep the
retail value at or below $3200.
Then you have the tranny problem, which may be missing shift bushings
but is more likely to be a tranny so worn that the delay on shifting
into reverse is approaching infinity.
Best case for the rest of the car and worst case for the tranny, you
pay $2200 to have a rebuilt tranny installed, everything else is
top-top, and the resulting car is worth $3k or maybe a bit more. In
reality, if it's worn out the tranny, it probably needs a good bit of
suspension work and maybe a valve job.
