2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 4MATIC

The auction records classify this 2017 Mercedes-Benz E 300 as Salvage, with “Front End” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated Front End damage claim; the salvage title status cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has severe front-end collision damage. The front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, exposing the radiator stack, wiring, brackets, bumper reinforcement, and other internal components. The detached bumper cover has extensive cracking, tearing, scuffing, and missing sections. The metal front bumper reinforcement has a pronounced downward bow through its center. The hood is severely deformed, with multiple creases, a raised and uneven leading edge, irregular gaps above the fenders, and chipped paint at the front center. A visible front fender also has a crease and irregular deformation near the missing headlamp area. Lower front trim and the underbody panel are detached, with the large lower panel resting on the ground in front of the vehicle. According to the VIN decode, this is a German-built 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine, automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The decoded trim is E300-4M, although the drive type is not separately confirmed in the NHTSA data provided. The findings indicate substantial front-end repair and parts replacement will be required. The radiator and other exposed components, front-end mounting points, cooling system, wiring, steering and suspension components, safety systems, and possible underlying structural damage should be physically inspected before purchase. Operational condition is not established by these findings.
