2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS E300-4M

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” condition and an auction primary-damage code of “BURN.” These are auction classifications, not independently verified findings. Stage 1 reports that the photographs show extensive visible damage consistent with a vehicle requiring more than a 75% damage assessment; however, the “BURN” classification cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs and requires physical inspection. The vehicle has severe damage throughout the front end and engine compartment. The front bumper, grille, and multiple front-end components are missing or detached. The exposed front structure and surrounding sheet metal are torn, crushed, and deformed, with large openings and detached material. Engine-bay components, wiring, hoses, and surrounding materials are visibly blackened, melted, fragmented, and covered with residue. The windshield is missing, and the front roof area, roof covering, roof rails, and front pillars are blackened, torn, and partially absent, exposing the passenger compartment. The front side window glass is also missing, with damage to the surrounding trim and interior door area. Inside the vehicle, the seats, upholstery, floor covering, and trim are blackened, melted, torn, and covered with debris. The steering wheel and dashboard area show severe blackening and melting, with exposed wiring and underlying components. Additional minor exterior damage includes scuffing and surface abrasions on the left front door, lower rocker and side panels, as well as abrasions and discolored scuff marks on the left rear quarter and lower rear bumper area. Overall, the vehicle presents extensive severe damage affecting the front structure, engine compartment, roof, windshield area, passenger compartment, dashboard, and interior. A complete physical inspection would be required to determine the full extent of structural, electrical, mechanical, and safety-system damage before considering repair or purchase.
