2017 MERCEDES-BENZ AMG GT S

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S coupe, identified by VIN WDDYJ7JA5HA010339. Factory decoding lists a 4.0-liter V8 gasoline engine, with manufacture in Germany. The auction record designates the vehicle as salvage and lists the primary damage as “Front & Rear.” Stage 1’s photo-based assessment reports that visible evidence supports front-end cosmetic collision damage at the right front bumper and fender area. It also states that no visible rear damage was identified, so the claimed front-and-rear damage is only partially supported. The documented damage is concentrated on the right front corner. Multiple white paint-transfer marks and linear scratches are visible across the dark paint on the right front bumper corner and adjacent wheel-arch area. Additional scraping, white marks, and exposed lighter areas are present along the front fender edge near the headlamp and wheel opening. The damage is classified as moderate paint scuffing and scraping. No other damage findings are provided, and the available information does not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, wheel, lighting components, or mechanical systems. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle application concerning the emergency-call communication system. The recalls involve software that may transmit an inaccurate vehicle location to emergency responders. The listed remedies are free software updates, either over the air or through a Mercedes-Benz dealer. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase or operation. A physical inspection is recommended to check for concealed damage beneath the affected bumper and fender areas, confirm whether any rear damage exists, and verify the vehicle’s salvage-repair quality and recall status.
