2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 4MATIC

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz E 300 is listed by the auction as a salvage vehicle with “Front End” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated “Front End” claim; however, the salvage title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated at the front-right corner. The hood is deeply creased and deformed, with torn edges, missing paint, and an uneven raised position above the front compartment. The right front fender is crushed and torn around the wheel opening and headlamp area, exposing internal components and damaged panel edges. The front bumper cover, grille, surrounding fascia, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. The radiator area, wiring, brackets, and other front-end components are exposed. The removed bumper assembly is shown separately with broken mounting areas, separated sections, and detached trim. Lower front air-deflector components are broken, detached, and hanging below the vehicle. Multiple wires and connectors are also exposed and hanging in the front-right and lower front-end areas. Light scratches and surface scuffs are visible on the front and rear door panels on the visible side. No additional damage findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is a Germany-built Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle is identified as an E300-4M trim, although the drive type was not separately confirmed in the decoded data. Given the extent of the front-end damage and the missing components, a thorough inspection of the front-end structure, cooling system, electrical systems, suspension, steering, restraint systems, and drivability-related components is recommended before purchase.
