2014 MERCEDES-BENZ GL GL 550 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed with an auction designation of “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” and a primary damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible rear tailgate and rear bumper damage partially supports the rear-end claim; however, substantial front hood and front bumper damage is also visible. Stage 1 further reports that the photos do not support a greater-than-75-percent damage assessment and that the vehicle remains largely intact externally. These auction classifications and the Stage 1 assessment should be considered separately from the physical findings below. The front end has moderate damage to the hood, including a pronounced dent and crease near the center and left-front leading edge, an uneven raised gap above the grille and headlamp area, and additional deformation along the leading edge. The left side of the front bumper shows moderate cracking or jagged damage near the lower air opening, along with black abrasion and paint loss. Minor scuffing and abrasion are also present on the left bumper corner and lower chrome trim. At the rear, the tailgate has a broad moderate dent below the chrome trim, with multiple creases extending toward the right rear lamp area. Several minor surface scratches are visible on the right and lower sections of the tailgate. The rear bumper has moderate deformation at the right corner and lower edge, including an uneven edge, apparent separation, and displaced lower trim with an irregular gap. Minor scuffing is also visible on the left rear bumper corner. The provided findings describe visible exterior damage only. No mechanical, electrical, underbody, structural, or interior inspection results were provided, so those areas require separate verification before purchase. Repair should be expected to involve the hood, front bumper components and trim, rear tailgate, rear bumper, and associated mounting or alignment points. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class GL 550 4MATIC SUV, equipped with all-wheel drive, a 4.7-liter gasoline V8 engine, and four doors. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in the United States.
