2017 JEEP CHEROKEE LATITUDE 4X4

The 2017 Jeep Cherokee is listed with a Certificate of Title and an auction primary-damage code of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END classification. The Certificate of Title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated across the entire front end. The driver-side front fender and wheel-arch area are crushed and sharply deformed, with irregular panel gaps. The hood is extensively buckled, folded, and deeply creased across its front and driver-side sections. The front bumper cover is displaced or absent from its installed position, and the detached cover has cracks, torn edges, scuffing, and damaged mounting points. The front bumper and grille assembly contains large open sections, broken or missing grille components, separated fascia pieces, and exposed internal components. The visible metal bumper reinforcement is bowed and irregularly deformed. The driver-side front corner around the headlamp area has crushed panels, torn openings, displaced fascia, and exposed components. The available findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, cooling system, suspension, steering, airbags, drivetrain, or other components behind the damaged front end. A comprehensive physical inspection and structural assessment will be necessary before repair or purchase decisions are made. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a U.S.-built 2017 Jeep Cherokee KL Sport Utility Vehicle with four-wheel drive, a 3.2-liter gasoline V6 engine rated at 271 horsepower, and seating for five. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Toledo North Assembly plant in Ohio.
