2016 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a CERT OF TITLE–SALVAGE condition and identifies the primary damage as SIDE. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, based on severe deformation of the left front door and rocker panel. However, the CERT OF TITLE–SALVAGE status cannot be confirmed from the available images. The left front door is severely crushed, with extensive inward deformation, deep creasing, and distorted metal across the middle and lower sections. The lower door edge and adjacent seam are also visibly damaged. The left rocker panel and lower door sill show extensive crushing and sharp deformation, with heavily creased and exposed metal extending toward the lower B-pillar. Airbag fabric is visibly deployed from the left front roof/door-side area and from the outer side of the left front seatback. These restraint-system components will require inspection and likely replacement, along with assessment of related structural, wiring, and safety-system damage. Minor cosmetic damage includes dark scuffing and localized paint loss on the lower-left corner of the front bumper, as well as several light horizontal marks on the lower-left area of the rear bumper. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350-4M sedan, built in Germany. It has all-wheel drive, a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 engine, and a four-door body configuration. A full inspection is recommended, including the left-side body structure, door and rocker-panel mounting areas, B-pillar, airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, sensors, wiring, and vehicle alignment.
