2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 E300

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz E 300 sedan, listed at auction with a Salvage designation and “Fresh Water” as the primary damage. These are auction classifications and should be verified against the vehicle’s title and physical condition. Stage 1’s photo review found that the Fresh Water claim was not supported by the available exterior, interior, and dashboard photos. No consistent exterior tide line, interior water staining, mud or silt residue, mold-like discoloration, or visible corrosion on interior components or wiring was reported. No visible flood indicators were identified in the photos. The only documented visible damage is minor cosmetic surface scuffing along the lower edge and left corner of the front bumper. No other damage findings were provided. A physical inspection is recommended, particularly because of the Salvage designation and the auction’s water-damage classification. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a Germany-built 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 300 with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The decoded vehicle information lists standard features including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, rear visibility assistance, and direct tire-pressure monitoring.
