I don't think it indicates anything too sloppy. If it were my car, I
likely would have left it off. I probably would have kept it to put
back on if I was to sell it, but I would rather be able to see the
engine than some plastic cover with a company logo on it. My F150
doesn't have any sort
Maybe, but to me it indicates sloppy maintenance in the past. It's a warning

I think he’s just looking for a reason not to buy it. The lack of an engine
cover wouldn’t stop me form buying a car if it was what I wanted and was a good
deal I was comfortable with.
I think Randy nailed it. Several times.

Haha he’s giving you solid advice. If you let some cheap piece of plastic
bugger the deal then you deserve to get fleeced on some other deal. But it’s
your dineros and you’re free to spend it in whatever way makes you happy.

The real question is whether the cover will fit with the K air filter
and hood stack?

To answer Randy, I like the color but there are other E250s available at
higher cost that are complete. I would definitely get a PPI

Thanks.
To answer Randy, I like the color but there are other E250s available at
higher cost that are complete. I would definitely get a PPI before pulling
the trigger.
Does it just snap into place or are there fasteners?

And when I hear stupid claims like this I just think, “So why would the
engineers that designed this bother if it wasn’t necessary?” Sort of like when
people leave the bottom engine compartment covers off…
