2024 MERCEDES-BENZ EQE SUV EQE350 4MATIC

The vehicle is a 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE-Class SUV, identified by VIN 4JGGM1CB7RA052587. Factory data describes it as an EQE 350 4MATIC all-wheel-drive battery-electric SUV with a single electric motor rated at 288 hp, manufactured in the United States. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE** and identifies **FRONT END** as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END classification. However, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front end has extensive severe collision damage. The hood is heavily buckled and sharply creased, with displaced and uneven front edges. Large sections of the front bumper and corner fascia are missing, while the remaining pieces are fractured, torn, or displaced. Internal brackets and components are exposed, and the lower grille opening and surrounding trim are separated and deformed. The front fender and wheel-arch molding have missing sections, exposed fastener locations, and irregular torn edges. The adjacent headlamp and fascia area has severe deformation, large gaps, and exposed components. The right-rear side also shows substantial collision damage. The rear quarter panel is extensively crushed, with sharp creases, scraped paint, and an irregular opening around the wheel arch. The right-rear door is deformed across its lower and middle sections and has extensive scraping and transferred material. The right-side rocker panel and lower door trim are scraped and distorted, with sections no longer forming a straight continuous profile. The right-rear bumper corner has abrasions, deformation, and irregular panel gaps next to the damaged quarter panel. The visible findings indicate extensive damage to multiple exterior body areas, with possible involvement of mounting points and components behind the damaged front fascia. A comprehensive inspection should be completed before purchase, including structural alignment, suspension and steering components, lighting and safety systems, wiring, and the high-voltage electric-vehicle system. Repair requirements, hidden damage, and final roadworthiness cannot be determined from these findings alone.
