2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” condition and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe hood deformation, broken front grille, and damaged front fascia support the FRONT END classification. However, the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front hood has severe deformation, including deep central and lateral creases, a raised central fold, an upward-folded front edge, and distortion across the front section. The upper grille has broken honeycomb sections, irregular openings, and fractured or displaced material. The painted fascia around the emblem and grille has multiple cracks and creases. A painted trim piece on the left side of the upper bumper opening is displaced, with a visible gap around it. Inside, the driver’s seat outer bolster has a minor area of abrasion and roughened light-colored material. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 Mercedes-Benz CLA-Class CLA250 sedan with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automated manual transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Kecskemét, Hungary. The decode also identifies standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and side airbags, and a rear visibility system; some listed equipment is optional or may vary by market. Physical inspection is recommended to assess components behind the damaged front panels and to verify the vehicle’s title and rebuildable status.
