2014 MERCEDES-BENZ E E350

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 is listed in the auction records with a salvage title designation and “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear quarter-panel deformation and rear bumper damage support the stated rear-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The rear quarter panel adjacent to the visible rear wheel has severe damage, including a large sharply creased depression, substantial surface deformation, disturbed panel edges, and multiple pronounced dents extending around the fuel-filler area toward the rear lamp. The rear bumper corner is severely crushed and torn, with deep creasing, scraped paint, an uneven edge, and an opening exposing material behind the cover. Part of the bumper-to-quarter-panel attachment material or trim is missing, leaving exposed openings and visible attachment points. Additional abrasion and deformation are present along the rear bumper and its transition to the quarter panel, with an irregular panel gap. The trunk lid is visibly raised from the body, leaving a wide opening along its lower edge. The outer side airbag on the front passenger seat is deployed, with airbag fabric exposed and hanging from the seatback, side bolster, and lower seat area. Repair will therefore require substantial bodywork and bumper-related parts, along with inspection and likely replacement of affected restraint-system components. The condition of concealed structural, electrical, mechanical, and safety-system components cannot be determined from the supplied findings. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E350 Convertible/Cabriolet, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Bremen, Germany. It has a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine and direct tire-pressure monitoring. Some VIN information, including the drivetrain and transmission, was not provided by the decoder.
