2016 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA CLA250

This 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA is listed with a salvage vehicle title and an auction primary-damage designation of FRONT END. Visible severe front-end collision damage supports the unverified FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from the available photos. The front end has extensive damage. The hood is severely creased and deformed, with its front edge raised and irregular. The visible front fender is crushed and torn, exposing inner components. The front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing from the vehicle, while the detached bumper cover and one headlamp assembly are visible separately on the ground. The front cooling stack, wiring, and other inner components are exposed, with several surrounding plastic supports and covers broken or absent. Inside the vehicle, the driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, and the instrument cluster displays multiple warning indicators, including restraint, brake, ABS, tire-pressure, and check-engine warnings. The windshield has multiple cracks in the upper-left area. Additional interior wear includes a tear in the outer bolster of the driver’s seat and surface wear and peeling on the upper sections of the steering-wheel rim. The reported damage is severe and appears to involve the front body structure, exterior panels, lighting, cooling components, wiring, and supplemental restraint systems. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, frame, or other mechanical systems. A comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-system inspection would be required before purchase.
