2016 MERCEDES-BENZ SL 400 SL400

The vehicle is listed with a **Salvage** condition and an auction primary-damage designation of **“Front & Rear.”** The provided findings show severe collision damage at both ends, consistent with the stated front-and-rear damage code. The salvage title status itself cannot be independently confirmed from photographs. At the front, the hood is severely deformed across its leading section, with multiple creases, scraped paint, an uneven panel gap, and a torn, irregular edge above the right front corner. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and partially missing. Several center grille sections are broken or absent, exposing internal components and cooling surfaces. The front-right headlamp area has displaced and broken surrounding fascia with exposed internal parts; the complete condition of the lamp lens cannot be determined from the available view. The rear is also heavily damaged. The rear bumper cover is severely crushed, torn, separated from the body at the left corner, and missing or displaced in several areas. The center rear panel and adjacent body sections are folded, torn, and misaligned, with exposed internal structure and detached bumper fragments visible below the vehicle. The folding-roof system has significant visible damage. The rear roof cover and surrounding deck area are severely deformed, with torn edges, open gaps, and exposed underside components. The folding-roof mechanism and internal structure are visible, and the adjacent roof-to-deck opening is irregular. Interior trim near the rear roof and deck assembly is peeling, chipped, and displaced. Factory decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class SL 400 convertible, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Bremen, Germany. It is equipped with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine; the decoded data does not specify the drivetrain or transmission. The visible damage is extensive and affects the front bodywork, rear body structure, bumper assemblies, lighting area, and folding-roof system. The condition of hidden structural components, cooling systems, wiring, airbags, mechanical components, and roof operation cannot be established from these findings. A comprehensive physical inspection and functional assessment will be required before repair or purchase decisions are made.
