2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E AMG E43

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMG E43 sedan with an auction-listed SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status and SIDE primary-damage classification. The auction designations are unverified; the provided assessment states that the visible left-side body damage supports the SIDE classification, while the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the available photographs. The visible damage is concentrated along the left side. The left front fender has a pronounced crease and deformation around the wheel opening, with scraped paint and an uneven outer surface. The left front bumper corner has extensive abrasion and gouging, with irregularly damaged material near the wheel opening. The left front door shows multiple horizontal creases, broad abrasions, and areas where the paint has been scraped through to a lighter underlying surface. The left rear door has a long horizontal crease, deep-looking surface marks, paint abrasion, and lighter-colored transfer across the middle and lower sections. The left rocker-panel side skirt has linear scuffing and scraped surface marks. The fender, bumper, and doors are assessed as moderate damage; the side-skirt damage is assessed as minor. According to the VIN decoding, this is an all-wheel-drive sedan built in Germany with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline M276 engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and a stated output of 396 horsepower. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear-visibility system. Some driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance, are listed as optional. The decoded information should be verified against the vehicle itself, particularly because equipment may vary by market. The findings describe visible exterior body damage only. A physical inspection is recommended to check the condition of the underlying structures, wheel and suspension components, lighting, safety systems, paintwork, and mechanical systems before purchase.
