2023 MERCEDES-BENZ E E450 4MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive right-side collision damage supports the SIDE classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most significant damage is concentrated on the right side. The right rear door, quarter panel, and rocker/lower sill area are severely crushed, with deep creases, folded sections, torn or displaced trim, exposed gaps, and visible inner areas when the doors are open. The right front door also has moderate dents, creasing, and scuffing along its lower outer panel. A right-side curtain airbag is visibly deployed and hanging from the roof-side area into the rear passenger compartment. The instrument cluster shows an illuminated red airbag/restraint warning indicator, indicating that the restraint system requires diagnosis and repair. Additional damage is visible at the left front corner. The left front fender is deformed and creased around the wheel arch, while the left front bumper corner has scraped and abraded paint, deformation, displaced or torn lower trim, and an irregular opening. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class E450 4MATIC sedan, built in Germany. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline inline-six engine rated at 362 horsepower, and standard front and side-curtain airbag systems. The extent of the visible structural-side and restraint-system damage means that the vehicle requires a comprehensive inspection and repair assessment, including checks of the body structure, rocker and quarter-panel areas, door operation, airbag and pretensioner systems, wiring, and related safety systems. No conclusion about mechanical or electrical condition can be made from the provided findings.
