2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E E300-4M

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, identified by VIN WDDZF4KB4HA100190. Factory decoding identifies it as an E300-4M with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, four-cylinder configuration, automatic transmission, and German manufacture. The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “REAR END” as the primary damage. The rear-end damage claim is supported by the visible findings: the rear bumper cover and corner sections are missing, exposing the reinforcement bar, brackets, mounting points, and other internal components. The lower rear body and bumper-mounting areas show severe deformation on both rear corners. Large, uneven gaps are also visible around both rear corners of the trunk lid, adjacent to the rear quarter panels and taillights. Stage 1 assessed that the visible evidence supports the stated rear-end primary-damage claim. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos alone. The vehicle should be professionally inspected for damage to the rear body structure, trunk alignment, bumper reinforcement and mounting points, lighting components, wiring, parking-assistance equipment, and related mechanical or safety systems before purchase. Repair requirements and roadworthiness cannot be determined from the provided findings alone.
