2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the front bumper cover, grille and surrounding front fascia, one headlamp assembly, and one front fender are missing. The front-end damage is severe. The absent bumper cover exposes the bumper reinforcement and components behind the fascia. The missing grille and fascia leave the radiator and supporting components exposed, while the missing headlamp has left mounting areas and wiring visible. The front fender is also absent, exposing the wheel well and inner front-side components. The wheel-well liner and adjacent trim are missing or incomplete. Loose wiring and unsecured components are visible around the front bumper corners. Additional cosmetic damage includes thin vertical and longitudinal scuff marks on the lower front door and rocker-panel area, along with light linear scuffs on the left rear bumper corner. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, identified as an E300-4M trim, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Sindelfingen, Germany. The decoded safety equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, rear visibility assistance, and front and side airbags. Some listed driver-assistance features are optional. The exposed front components, missing structural and body panels, and loose wiring require a thorough physical inspection to determine the full extent of repair needs before purchase or road use.
