2016 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED 4X4

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “MINOR DENT/SCRATCHES” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-bumper scuffing supports minor cosmetic damage; however, the missing or open lower bumper reflector/trim area is not fully described by that damage code. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The visible damage is concentrated on the right side of the rear bumper. A rectangular opening with a dark interior is present in the lower bumper where a reflector or trim insert would normally be installed. Blue transfer marks and light surface scratches are also visible near the right lower corner. The reflector or trim insert will likely require replacement, and the bumper should be inspected for concealed mounting or structural damage.
