2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E E300

The vehicle is listed with a Certificate of Salvage and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification: the front bumper cover and grille are missing, the lower front trim is displaced, and the front-right fender is deformed. The Certificate of Salvage status could not be independently confirmed from the available photos. The front bumper cover is completely absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, and other internal front-end components. The front grille assembly is also missing, leaving the central radiator area exposed. Black lower-front plastic trim is displaced and hanging below the exposed components, with separated and irregular edges. Trim around the front-right headlamp and bumper corner is missing, exposing additional internal components. The front-right fender has visible crumpling and an irregular contour above and behind the wheel opening. Inside, the light-colored leather on the visible front seat lower cushions has multiple discolored and abraded areas, including more pronounced worn patches near the outer edges. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E300 sedan, manufactured in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine and an automatic transmission. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, automatic reverse braking, and a rear-visibility system. Some equipment details may vary for non-U.S.-market vehicles. The extent of damage to the radiator, cooling system, lighting, sensors, structural components, mechanical systems, and safety restraints cannot be determined from the listed findings. A thorough physical inspection and diagnostic assessment are recommended before purchase.
