I am looking for a daily driver and found the car with all the options a want. Of course it is a few hundred miles away. According to Carfax, it looks like in May of 2015 it sustained damage, as it says "Damage reported" and "Damage to rear". In Sept of 2015 it says "Vehicle sold at auction", "Structural damage reported", "Unibody damage disclosed by seller based on results of a visual inspection". Looking at it closer, the air bags didn't deploy. I'm not sure if the damage was because of a collision with another car or not. Any ideas what could cause structural damage but not cause the airbags to deploy? Would any damage to a body panel be considered "structural damage" with a unibody car? I know I need an inspection that includes a structural report. Any suggestions who may be able to do this?
Take it to your local Mercedes dealership and have them do an inspection. They can pull any codes that would have happened from the accident. They can also look at the underbody and can tell if the car has been clamped down by a frame pulling machine to fix any structural damage.
