The auction lists “Front End” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper cover, grille, driver-side headlamp, and driver-side front fender are missing, leaving the front cooling area exposed. The front-end damage is severe. The radiator area, reinforcement beam, lower cooling components, brackets, and wiring are exposed, with electrical connectors hanging in the open front area. The driver-side front fender is absent, and the adjacent mounting area shows deformation and disturbed seam material. Lower front trim is also missing or detached. Additional damage is visible along the driver-side front door and rocker panel, including broad abrasion marks, paint loss, and a crease or deformation along the lower door area. The rear bumper has multiple scratches, scuffs, gray paint-transfer marks, and areas of paint loss across the driver-side corner, lower section, center, and passenger-side corner.
