2018 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA AMG CLA45

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible hood and front-bumper damage supports the stated front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from photographs. Visible damage includes a displaced hood with an uneven, widened gap along the front edge. The front bumper is severely damaged, with cracking, separation, jagged broken edges, open gaps, and missing or displaced sections around the lower corners and lower grille/intake area. Broken plastic trim and exposed openings are also visible along the lower front bumper/support area with the hood open. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed, and the driver’s knee airbag has deployed from the lower dashboard above the footwell. The windshield has a severe fractured impact area near the upper center and passenger-side section, with multiple cracks extending across the glass. The extent of the visible damage indicates that inspection and replacement of affected body, structural, restraint-system, glass, and front-end components will be required. A complete mechanical, structural, and airbag-system inspection is recommended before purchase.
