2025 MERCEDES-BENZ CLE CLE450 4MATIC

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz CLE is listed by the auction with a salvage title and “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. The visible severe deformation of the driver-side door and adjacent side body panels supports the stated side-damage classification. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The driver-side door has extensive crushing, deep creasing, and distortion across most of its outer panel, including the handle area and lower section. Similar deformation extends from the rear edge of the door into the adjacent rear quarter, rocker, and lower side structure, with pronounced creases near the rear wheel opening. These findings indicate substantial side-body damage requiring detailed structural and mechanical inspection. Numerous small broken-glass fragments are visible across the driver-side floor carpet and lower footwell. The source of the broken glass is not identified in the provided findings. According to the VIN decode, this vehicle is a German-built Mercedes-Benz CLE 450 4MATIC convertible/cabriolet with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The VIN data also identifies front, side, and curtain restraint systems, including seat-belt pretensioners. The condition and operation of these safety systems, as well as the door, adjacent body structure, windows, wiring, and interior, should be verified during a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase.
