2020 MERCEDES-BENZ S 560 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with substantial damage and missing material on the front bumper and associated front-end panel gaps. The front bumper cover is severely damaged at both corners and along its upper edge. It has large open sections, visible tears and cracks, and is separated from adjacent body and lamp areas. Significant portions of the bumper cover are missing from the lower corner openings, exposing dark internal components and mounting areas. The bumper is also separated around the grille and headlamp surrounds, with irregular gaps and exposed fastener or mounting areas. The front edge of the hood is uneven, sitting raised with a wide, irregular gap above the grille and an uneven gap beside the right headlamp when viewed from the front. The center Mercedes grille emblem is missing. The front alloy wheel has multiple areas of curb rash and abrasion around the outer rim lip. The VIN decodes as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe, S560-4M trim, manufactured in Germany. It is equipped with a 4.0-liter turbocharged M176 V8 gasoline engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded information lists 19-inch wheels, LED low-beam headlights, lane-departure warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear visibility assistance, traction control, electronic stability control, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. NHTSA records list four recalls applicable to the 2020 S560: two communication-module software recalls affecting the emergency eCall system, a side-impact crash sensor recall that may delay airbag and seatbelt activation, and a fuel-rail and injector recall involving a potential fuel leak and fire risk. Recall completion status is not provided and should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer using the VIN. The visible damage is concentrated at the front end, but the condition of components behind the damaged bumper, the lighting and driver-assistance systems, hood alignment, structural mounting points, cooling equipment, and other mechanical or safety systems should be verified through a hands-on inspection before purchase.
