2011 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350

The vehicle is a 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 coupe, VIN WDDKJ5GB2BF095354. NHTSA decoding identifies a gasoline 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Bremen, Germany. The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE - SALVAGE” with a primary damage classification of “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible side deformation and missing components support the SIDE damage classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. Significant body damage is present on both sides of the vehicle. The left front door has a large inward dent with multiple creases extending toward the lower rear portion of the door. The left fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler recess exposed. Part of the left rocker-panel trim is also missing, with exposed mounting points and loose or incomplete remaining sections. At the right front fender and bumper junction, there is an open gap with a separated panel edge and exposed dark inner material. The right rear outer tail-lamp assembly is missing, leaving a large open cavity. The adjacent right rear quarter panel has pronounced inward deformation with sharply creased and irregular metal. The interior shows cosmetic wear. The steering-wheel rim has extensive peeling and worn areas, especially across the upper and left portions. The passenger-side wood-look dashboard trim has several areas where the dark finish is missing or deteriorated. The vehicle should undergo a thorough structural and mechanical inspection, including examination of the damaged quarter panel and rocker area, lighting and wiring systems, bumper and fender mounting points, fuel-filler components, suspension and wheel alignment, and all safety systems before repair or purchase.
