2024 MERCEDES-BENZ CLE AMG CLE53 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE** and **FRONT END** as the auction’s primary-damage classification. The visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification, with extensive damage to the front bumper, grille, fascia, and hood. The SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The hood is raised and uneven along its leading edge, particularly near the right-front corner, with a substantially enlarged and irregular gap to the front fascia. The front bumper cover is missing across the center and right side, while the remaining sections are torn, displaced, and broken. The grille insert is missing, exposing structural and cooling-area components. The fascia around the right-side headlamp area is broken or absent in sections, with displaced bodywork and exposed mounting and trim components. Lower front panels and trim are separated and hanging below the vehicle; loose wiring and other components are visible in this area. Additional broad, deep scraping and torn or missing surface material are present on the visible bumper sections. The driver, front passenger, and side-curtain airbags are visibly deployed. The center infotainment display has a radial crack pattern, and the driver’s seat cushion shows extensive abrasion, discoloration, and worn areas. The findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, electrical systems, or the vehicle’s underlying structural components. A thorough physical inspection and full restraint-system, electrical, and diagnostic evaluation would be required before repair or purchase. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe, identified as an AMG CLE53 4MATIC with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Germany.
