2020 MERCEDES-BENZ AMG CLS 53 4MATIC

The auction record designates the vehicle as **Salvage**, with **Right Side** listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage is consistent with a salvage condition; however, the substantial damage shown is concentrated on the vehicle’s **left side and rear**, so the listed Right Side primary-damage code appears mismatched and is not fully supported by the photo assessment. The vehicle has severe collision damage along the visible side. Both visible doors have extensive lower-section scraping and deformation. The front door is deeply dented and creased, with extensive paint loss and exposed substrate or metal, while the rear door has elongated abrasions and localized denting. The rocker panel and lower sill beneath the doors are heavily crushed and folded, with scraped paint and exposed metal. The front fender is completely missing, exposing the wheelhouse, inner body panels, wiring, and related components. The rear bumper cover, side trim, and portions of the rear fascia are also absent, leaving the bumper reinforcement, mounting brackets, inner panels, and lower heat shield exposed. A wiring lead is visible hanging below the rear bumper assembly. Detached exterior parts—including a matching-color fender, bumper sections, grille or underbody panels, and interior bumper trim—are shown separately beside the vehicle. The VIN decodes as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class AMG CLS 53 sedan, built in Germany. It is equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six gasoline engine identified as the M256, rated at 429 hp in the supplied data, and a seven-speed automated manual transmission. Drive type is not specified in the decode. The vehicle has four doors, five seats, 19-inch front and rear wheels, left-hand drive, and standard safety equipment including ABS, stability control, traction control, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. The visible damage is extensive and will require substantial body-panel, rocker-area, bumper, trim, and exposed-component repair or replacement. The condition of hidden structural, suspension, electrical, restraint, and mechanical systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be verified through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase.
