2011 MERCEDES-BENZ GL GL450 4-MATIC

The auction record lists the vehicle as “PERMIT TO SELL” and identifies “VANDALISM” as the primary damage. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support the vandalism claim: the photographs show substantial front-end collision-type damage and deformation on the right side, although the cause cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. Stage 1 also notes that the “PERMIT TO SELL” condition cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front bumper cover is missing and is lying detached in front of the vehicle. The center grille and surrounding fascia trim are also absent, exposing the radiator, support components, wiring, and washer-fluid reservoir. The front-right headlamp assembly is missing, leaving the area behind it exposed. The visible front-left headlamp lens appears cloudy and oxidized. Multiple creases and dents are visible around the right rear door and the adjacent right rear quarter panel near the fuel-filler opening. Inside the vehicle, the front passenger seat cushion has a large worn-through and torn area, with lighter underlying material exposed. The extent of the exposed front-end components and the right-side body deformation indicate that a detailed physical inspection is required before purchase. The condition of hidden structural, mechanical, electrical, cooling, lighting, and safety-related components cannot be determined from the provided findings.
