2024 MERCEDES-BENZ E 350

The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: the front bumper cover and grille are missing, leaving front-end components exposed. The complete front bumper cover is absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, mounting components, and wiring. The front grille assembly is also missing, leaving the central front opening exposed. The detached bumper cover has surface scuffing and abrasion marks along its lower trim and lower corner areas. These findings are based on the available visual damage assessment; the condition of concealed components, wiring, cooling systems, safety systems, and structural areas requires physical inspection and functional testing. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E 350 4MATIC sedan, manufactured in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder M254 gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive.
