2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 4MATIC

The auction record lists this 2017 Mercedes-Benz E 300 as **Salvage**, with **Front End** recorded as the primary damage. Visible front-left collision damage supports the stated Front End primary-damage claim. However, the Salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The main visible damage is concentrated at the left front. The hood has a raised, uneven left-front edge and an irregular gap above the left headlamp and grille. The left-front fender is crushed, creased, and displaced around the headlamp and wheel-arch area. There are also visible gaps and separation between the hood, fender, headlamp area, and bumper. The left side of the front bumper cover is significantly damaged, with pronounced deformation, broken or torn edges, surface creasing, and separation from the adjacent fender and headlamp area. The bumper damage is described as severe in the available findings, while the hood and fender deformation is described as moderate. According to the VIN decoding, this is a German-built 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan with the E300-4M trim designation. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine rated at 241 hp and an automatic transmission. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, dynamic brake support, and a rear visibility system. Some additional driver-assistance features are identified as optional. Further inspection is required to determine whether any underlying structural, lighting, cooling, suspension, or mechanical components were affected by the front-end impact.
