2013 MERCEDES-BENZ S S550V 4-MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a certificate of title identifying it as a flood vehicle, with “water/flood” recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. This is an unverified auction claim. Stage 1’s review of the available exterior, lower-body, interior, engine-bay, and dashboard photos found no visible horizontal tide line, water staining, mud or silt residue, mold-like discoloration, or visible corrosion on interior components or wiring. The instrument cluster is shown but not illuminated, so the photos do not provide evidence regarding the operation of the vehicle’s electronics. Based on the available images, the visible evidence does not support the unverified flood or water claim. The visible damage is limited to minor cosmetic surface scuffing. Several light linear marks are present on the lower section of the front bumper cover. Light white abrasion marks appear along the right corner and lower edge of the rear bumper, with additional light horizontal surface marks across the rear bumper cover. No other findings were provided.
