2016 JEEP CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4

The 2016 Jeep Cherokee is listed with a salvage title and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated at the left front. The hood is heavily deformed, raised above the surrounding panels, and has a large uneven front gap. It also has a puncture or open hole, sharp creases, and displaced metal along the left edge. The left-front fender is crushed and folded around the wheel opening and front corner. The left-front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving wiring and internal components exposed. The left side of the grille and front fascia is broken and displaced. The bumper cover is cracked, torn, and displaced, with portions missing, an open lower section, and exposed internal components. Plastic shrouds and covers in the left-front engine-compartment area are broken or absent. Several detached red body-panel pieces and black underbody or wheel-well panels are visible on the ground, and some have broken or irregular edges. The interior shows minor cosmetic wear, including discoloration and scuffing on the driver’s seat cushion, surface wear and discoloration on the upper steering-wheel rim, and dark marks, scuffing, and discoloration on the rear seat cushions. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, airbags, structural components, wiring, or the vehicle’s ability to start and drive. A comprehensive physical inspection is required, including inspection for hidden collision damage, missing components, alignment issues, and electrical faults.
