AI risk assessment
Risky
44/100
This 2015 Mercedes-Benz S 550 4MATIC has severe side damage, a 'NOT ACTUAL' odometer reading, and illuminated check engine and brake warning lights, indicating active faults. The vehicle has a critical 'flip' history, having been previously sold and relisted with an 'unknown' odometer, now showing a specific but 'NOT ACTUAL' mileage, suggesting potential cosmetic repairs hiding deeper issues. The current buy-now price of $12,000 is high given the extensive damage, odometer discrepancy, and high-risk history. A comparable clean vehicle would be around $22,000, but this car's history and condition significantly reduce its post-repair value and increase risk.

AI Analysis
Damage visible
The primary image shows severe impact damage to the driver's side front fender and front door, with deep creases and deformation. The driver's side mirror is also damaged or missing. Minor scuffs are visible on the front bumper's left side.
Overall condition
The vehicle appears to be sitting level, but the driver's side body panels are heavily compromised by the impact. The black multi-spoke wheels appear intact from this angle. The overall exterior is white, and the car is parked on a dirt lot under clear skies.
Repair recommendations
A thorough pre-purchase inspection is critical, focusing on potential hidden structural damage, especially given the 'SIDE' primary damage and previous auction history noting structural work and wheel misalignment. Verify the 'RUNS AND DRIVES' status and perform comprehensive diagnostics for the illuminated warning lights. The 'NOT ACTUAL' odometer and flip history warrant extreme caution regarding the vehicle's true condition and mileage.
