2018 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 4MATIC

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz E 300 is listed with a Salvage condition and “Front End” as the auction’s primary damage classification. The available visual assessment supports the stated Front End claim through the broken or missing lower front bumper material and exposed components. However, the Salvage status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The most significant visible damage is at the lower front bumper on the left side. An irregular section of the bumper cover is broken or missing, exposing black inner components and wiring. Another lower bumper piece is separated and hanging near the lower edge. At the rear, a chrome-colored trim piece on the lower left bumper is separated and extends below the normal bumper edge. The outer side bolster of the rear seat is also torn, with yellow foam exposed. No other findings were provided. The VIN decodes as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, E300-4M trim, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and listed four-wheel drive. Factory safety equipment includes front and side airbags, electronic stability and traction control, forward collision warning, a rear visibility system, and seat-belt pretensioners. Several NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year, involving the emergency-call communication system, the starter-battery positive-pole cover, the steering rack on applicable rear-wheel-drive vehicles, and front seat-belt buckle detection and pretensioner operation. Recall applicability and completion status should be verified by the VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer before purchase. A thorough physical inspection should also include the front bumper structure, wiring, sensors, steering and suspension components, seat-belt systems, and any areas concealed by the damaged trim.
