As long as it hasn't pulled the bumper attachments out, you should be OK. I noticed that Benz, too, and was intrigued until I saw: http://i9.ebayimg.com/04/i/06/c3/96/59_12.JPG Running an engine without an air filter is a way to ruin it in short order. Having been burnt that way before, I'm really leery of the car. I sent a message to the seller commenting about the lack of an air filter and got no response. My Dad lives in Eugene, so going there to get the car isn't out of the question. Craig
