In the Netherlands the EQE was driven mainly as an executive and lease car, and now that the first contracts are expiring, the damaged examples are coming onto the market. We bring them together here: everything that the car dealers, traders and dismantling companies in our network offer, from the Netherlands and abroad. Filter by year of manufacture, body style or type of damage and contact the seller yourself.
What our partners buy in determines the stock, and it shifts daily. The EQE comes in two very different body styles and in a range of drivetrain versions. Which one you come across determines the value of a salvage car and the parts you need.
The saloon came onto the market in 2022 with a strikingly streamlined shape, which allows it to cover well over 600 kilometres on a battery pack of around 89 kWh. The EQE 300 delivers 245 hp and the 350+ 292 hp; with four-wheel drive and the 500 4MATIC, that rises to 408 hp.
This version makes up the bulk of the stock. Always ask about the battery pack and the condition of the air suspension, because those are the two items that determine the bill.
With the saloon, bear in mind that the tailgate is attached to the parcel shelf; it is not a separate boot lid. That makes damage to the rear more serious than it looks.
With a drag coefficient of around 0.20, it is among the most streamlined production cars, and that is precisely where its range comes from.
The SUV followed a year later. It uses the same platform and the same drivetrains but sits higher off the road and offers more luggage space. In return it gives up some range because of its larger frontal area.
For you as a buyer, it is important to know that the body parts are not interchangeable between the saloon and the SUV. So always check which of the two you are looking at.
The SUV also has a higher floor pan and a different chassis. Parts from a saloon therefore do not fit it, even if the type designations match.
At the top of the range are the AMG versions, with two powerful motors, their own chassis and larger brakes. Options that came along as well include the Hyperscreen spanning the full width of the dashboard, rear-axle steering and a Burmester sound system.
It is precisely these options that determine whether you are buying a cheap fixer-upper or a valuable donor vehicle. Check each listing to see what is fitted.
These versions are rare in the Netherlands, but when dismantled they do yield the most sought-after parts.
We do not publish a fixed stock list. You set the criteria your Mercedes EQE salvage car must meet and then see whether anything suitable is available right now:
No suitable car today? That may be different next week. Save your search or this page and you will see it straight away when a partner lists one.
Does a car appeal to you? The listing contains detailed photos and the full damage description, along with the seller’s details.
You assess a premium electric car on different points than an ordinary mid-size car. Four topics determine how your sums come out.
The pack of approximately 89 kWh forms the floor of the car and is heavily protected there. With bodywork damage it almost always escapes unscathed. Even so, ask for a current reading of its capacity and the number of charging cycles.
Look at the charging port and its flap as well. A damaged or damp port makes rapid charging impossible and is awkward to replace on its own.
Around that pack there is also a cooling circuit that can spring a leak if the underside is damaged. Ask whether the system was pressure-tested after the collision.
Many EQEs sit on air suspension and have rear wheels that steer, sometimes by up to ten degrees. That gives a small turning circle, but it is also technology that can be damaged in a collision around the rear axle. Through our platform you can obtain those parts from a salvage vehicle for a fraction of the new price.
The insurer sets the repair costs against the car’s market value; if the repair bill is higher, the car is written off. With the EQE, that market value has fallen sharply in recent years, while sensors and screens have held their price.
So work out for yourself whether repair pays off or whether the value lies more in the components: the battery pack, the electric motors, the air suspension or the complete set of screens.
Obtain the damage history using the chassis number and ask for the insurer’s assessment or that of an approved repairer as well. Find out how much battery warranty remains, because that term differs from the standard manufacturer’s warranty.
Also check that there is no block on the car. With complete paperwork, re-registration or export to Germany, Belgium or Poland is considerably easier.
With the sums involved in this segment, who you buy from matters a great deal. That is why we only grant access to recognised dealers affiliated with organisations such as the Vereniging Schadevoertuighandel (VSV) and the Stichting Verzekeringsbureau Voertuigcriminaliteit (VbV). A considerable share of their stock comes directly from insurers.
Every Mercedes EQE salvage car with us comes with sharp photos and detailed specifications. They let you establish in advance whether it is a case of bodywork damage or whether there is more to it, for example in the suspension or the high-voltage technology.
Want to see more? Ask the dealer for images of the underside and the rear-axle suspension. On a car with air suspension, you can tell from those whether more than the bodywork has been hit.
The dealer is your direct point of contact, with no one in between. That keeps the price sharp and the turnaround short. What is more, you pay considerably less for a damaged EQE than for a comparable one without damage. What else we offer you:
From companies that buy for repair or dismantling to private buyers who want to bring a luxury electric car within reach: buyers differ considerably. Does your own plan appear below?
What a repair costs depends largely on where you buy the parts. That is why we offer more than the car alone: you will also find Mercedes salvage cars and high-quality used car parts for this specific model.
This way the car and the parts you need come from the same network. It saves a search round the suppliers and, with screens and sensors, a considerable wait as well.
Do you buy in a professional capacity? Then from a single account you have both the new stock and the donor vehicles in view.
“Every dealer in our network is vetted in advance and continually tops up their stock. That keeps the listings on this page moving with the market: if there is nothing today, something may be added tomorrow. With a car carrying this much technology, their opinion counts for a great deal, because they make clear what the damage does to repair costs and to residual value.”
Doing up a damaged EQE with used parts makes a big saving on costs and conserves raw materials. Putting an existing car back to use takes less material than building a new one.
With this car, that counts for even more. A battery pack of nearly 90 kWh contains a considerable amount of raw material, and producing it accounts for a large share of the environmental impact over the car’s whole life. A pack that is still good deserves a second life in another car or as stationary storage. We are glad to contribute to that.
Do you have a question about one specific Mercedes EQE in our listings, for example about the damage history, the capacity of the battery pack or how the rear-axle steering works? Put it to the dealer offering the car.
You will find their telephone number and email address at the top of the listing.
Do you have a general question about buying a salvage car? Then first run through our frequently asked questions from users. If that does not provide an answer, send us an email; our details are on the customer service page.
No. The stock comes from our affiliated partners and changes every day. The number is increasing now that the first leasing contracts from 2022 and 2023 are expiring, though. Save your search or this page and check back regularly.
Technically they are largely the same: the same platform, the same battery and the same drivetrains. The bodywork is completely different, however, so panels, windows and bumpers are not interchangeable. Bear that in mind when looking for parts.
It means that the insurer estimates the repair at more than the car is currently worth. Because the market value of premium electric cars has fallen quickly while parts have stayed expensive, that threshold is soon reached. The technical condition does not enter into it.
For the drivetrain and the electronics, the supply is growing, because the EQE shares them with the EQS and with other models on the same platform. Body parts, screens and the air suspension are model-specific; for those, a salvage vehicle from our listings is, in general, the quickest way of getting hold of the right part.
Yes, provided the export papers and the damage file are complete. For Germany, Belgium or Poland, the full registration document is needed to get the car registered in your name there. Check beforehand that there is no block on the vehicle.
No. As a marketplace, we bring supply and demand together; the sale is with the partner. You therefore make any warranty arrangements with the dealer offering the car.
