2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E AMG E43

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a **salvage certificate**, with **SIDE** recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification because extensive collision damage is present on the left side. However, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The most significant damage is concentrated on the left front corner and side. The left front fender is severely crushed, creased, torn, and partially missing around the wheel arch, exposing the area behind the panel. The left front door has extensive deep dents, sharp creases, scraped paint, and irregular deformation across the outer skin. The left front bumper corner has cracked and broken plastic with an irregular edge and damaged adjacent trim. The driver-compartment airbags are deployed, including the steering-wheel airbag, the lower driver-side dashboard airbag, and a curtain airbag along the upper left side of the cabin. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, steering, wheel, or other mechanical and electrical components. A detailed physical inspection would be required before repair or purchase decisions.
