2016 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350-4M

The vehicle is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan, VIN WDDHF8JBXGB260071. Factory decoding identifies it as an E350-4M with a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 engine and all-wheel drive, manufactured in Germany. The auction record lists the vehicle as “SALVAGE CERT-FLOOD” with “WATER/FLOOD” as the primary damage classification. This is an unverified auction claim. Stage 1 reports that the available exterior, interior, engine-bay, and dashboard photos do not show a consistent horizontal tide line, interior water-line staining, silt, mold-like discoloration, visible corrosion on interior components, or corroded wiring/connectors. Stage 1 also reports that the instrument cluster displays normally without widespread malfunction indicators and concludes that the visible evidence does not support the unverified flood claim. Physical inspection remains advisable, particularly for hidden water-related damage. Visible damage consists of minor cosmetic scuffing on the front bumper corner and lower front lip, including the area adjacent to the front wheel opening. The steering-wheel rim also has shiny, visibly worn areas on the grip surface. No other damage findings were provided.
