2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E 300 E300

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies “Right Front” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the “Clear” condition claim because extensive collision damage is present, while the “Right Front” primary-damage designation is supported by the visible damage in that area. The right-front corner has severe damage involving the fender, headlamp area, hood edge, and bumper cover. The right-front fender is crushed and folded around the wheel arch and headlamp, with extensive abrasion and exposed gaps. The headlamp assembly has a broken or displaced outer lens with internal components exposed. The hood is creased and deformed at its right-front edge, and the gap above the headlamp and fender is uneven. The bumper cover has substantial abrasion, deformation, and irregular edges, with areas of white paint missing and darker underlayers exposed. Additional damage is visible along the vehicle’s right side. Both the right-front and right-rear doors have dark horizontal scrape marks and paint abrasion. The right rocker panel or side sill is severely torn and deformed between the doors, with an open section and exposed dark material. The lower rear edge of the right-front door has gouging, paint loss, and an irregular damaged edge near the rocker panel. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E300 sedan, manufactured in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine and an automatic transmission. Factory safety and driver-assistance equipment listed by the decoder includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, and a rear visibility system; some additional systems are listed as optional. The damage findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, structural components, airbags, or other systems. A comprehensive mechanical, structural, lighting, and safety-system inspection is recommended before purchase.
