2014 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350

The auction record lists a Salvage Certificate of Title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification, with extensive damage and missing or detached components at the front. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. This 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is identified by the VIN decode as a four-door sedan, E350 trim, with a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Sindelfingen, Germany. Drive type and transmission information were not provided. The vehicle has extensive, severe front-end collision damage. The hood is heavily crumpled, particularly on the right side, with sharp creases, displaced metal, and extensive folding. The front-right corner, fender, bumper area, and surrounding body panels are crushed and torn, with internal components exposed. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area are also torn and deformed. The front bumper and lower fascia are detached, broken, and separated from the vehicle. The grille and other center-front components are missing, while multiple broken bumper, grille, ducting, and underbody pieces are lying in front of the vehicle. The right-front headlamp assembly is missing. The radiator support area and adjacent metal and plastic structures show pronounced deformation, displacement, and broken sections. Visible wiring, cooling surfaces, and other front-end components are exposed. The extent of structural and mechanical damage cannot be determined from the provided findings and would require a thorough physical inspection. The driver steering-wheel airbag and the left-side curtain airbag are visibly deployed. Replacement of the airbags and inspection of the restraint system and related sensors will be required. Additional cosmetic and interior issues include light scuffing on both sides of the doors and on the right side of the rear bumper, a cracked center-console armrest, and dirt or staining on the front driver seat, front floor area, rear seat, and rear floor. Overall, the vehicle requires extensive front-end collision repair, component replacement, and mechanical, structural, cooling-system, lighting, and safety-system inspection before it can be considered roadworthy.
