2016 MERCEDES-BENZ S S550-4M

The vehicle is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan with a salvage certificate of title. The auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper, grille, lower fascia, and both front fenders are missing, leaving front-end components exposed. The front bumper cover, front grille, and lower front fascia are absent. Both the left and right front fenders are missing, exposing the front wheels, inner fender areas, mounting components, and other front-end structures. Wiring and connectors are visibly exposed and hanging in the open front-end area. The left rocker molding is displaced and separated from the body along the forward portion of the lower side. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a gasoline-powered 4.7-liter V8 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, trim S550-4M, manufactured in Sindelfingen, Germany. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, as well as seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters. The extent of the visible front-end damage means that additional inspection is required to assess hidden structural, cooling, electrical, suspension, and safety-system damage before repair or road use.
