2013 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350 4-MATIC

This 2013 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, with substantial damage on the right rear door and right rear quarter panel. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The main damage is concentrated on the right rear side. The right rear passenger door has a pronounced inward dent with sharp creasing and scraped paint along its lower rear section and near the wheel-arch area. The exterior door handle is missing, leaving its mounting opening exposed. The adjacent right rear quarter panel and wheel-arch edge are deformed and have scraped paint, with a pronounced crease extending toward the rear door. A minor shallow crease and dark paint scuff are also visible on the left rear quarter panel immediately ahead of the wheel arch. The interior has several cosmetic defects. The light-colored upholstery on the front left seat lower cushion or outer bolster is split and cracked. The center-console armrest has concentrated cracking and surface deterioration, while the steering-wheel rim shows worn, glossy areas, particularly along its lower portion. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2013 Mercedes-Benz E350 4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The vehicle was manufactured in Germany. No known failure-pattern flags were provided. The listed findings do not include an assessment of mechanical, structural, or safety-system operation; these areas should be physically inspected before purchase.
