2015 MERCEDES-BENZ GL GL450

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title certificate, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is “BURN - INTERIOR.” Stage 1 reports that this claim requires physical inspection: the photos show extensive interior damage, deployed airbag fabric, torn upholstery, and debris, but the photos alone do not establish fire damage. The visible damage is concentrated in the windshield and front passenger compartment. The windshield has extensive radial cracking and a large irregular missing section, including an opening in the upper-left area as viewed from the front. Interior material is exposed through the opening. The passenger airbag is deployed from the dashboard, while the passenger-side dashboard and glovebox have displaced or missing trim, an open cavity, and exposed internal components. The center console also has displaced or missing trim, with exposed wiring or components visible. The front roof trim and headliner are torn and displaced, with exposed material and white restraint fabric near the roof. The front seat cushion upholstery is extensively torn, exposing foam and separated upholstery material. The rear seat back and cushion have multiple tears and open seams, with dark material and debris visible across the seating area and floor. Additional exterior damage includes light scratches and scuff marks on the rear quarter panel near the rear lamp and wheel opening, along with dark abrasion marks on the lower front bumper and trim. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz GL-Class GL450 SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a GVWR in the 7,001–8,000 lb class. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA in Vance, Alabama. A complete physical inspection is recommended, including assessment of the restraint system, windshield and surrounding structure, dashboard and roof components, wiring, upholstery, and any possible fire-related effects before repair or purchase.
