2022 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350

The vehicle is a 2022 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 sedan, VIN W1KZF8DB7NB089776. Factory decoding identifies a gasoline 2.0-liter four-cylinder M274 engine with a turbocharger and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Sindelfingen, Germany. The auction record lists the title condition as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE WATER” and the primary damage as “WATER/FLOOD.” However, the Stage 1 photo assessment reports that the exterior, interior, dashboard, and engine-bay photos show no visible horizontal tide line, water staining, silt or mud residue, mold-like discoloration, or visible corrosion consistent with flood exposure. Stage 1 therefore identifies a mismatch with the WATER/FLOOD claim. The instrument cluster is illuminated and shows multiple warning indicators and a warning message, so the available images do not establish a normal, fault-free electronic state. The only recorded physical damage is a minor cosmetic surface scuff on the right rear quarter panel, immediately forward of the rear wheel arch. It consists of a small dark mark with short horizontal abrasion lines on the white paint above and forward of the right rear wheel. No other damage findings are provided.
