2015 MERCEDES-BENZ GL GL450

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the auction’s FRONT END primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be independently confirmed from exterior photographs. The visible damage is concentrated at the front-left corner and is severe. The front-left fender is extensively crushed and folded, with torn edges, missing sheet metal, and exposed inner components. The front-left portion of the hood is heavily creased and deformed, with an irregular edge above the damaged corner. A large section of the front bumper cover is missing or torn away. The remaining bumper and trim pieces are fractured, displaced, detached, or hanging away from the vehicle. The front-left headlamp is not present as an intact assembly; broken lens and housing pieces are visible in the exposed area. The lower grille and adjacent fascia also have broken, displaced, and missing sections. The front-left wheel-well area is open, with exposed brackets and inner components. Portions of the wheel-well liner and surrounding trim are missing. The available findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, steering, cooling system, wiring, or other mechanical and safety components. These areas require a thorough physical inspection and testing before repair or purchase decisions are made. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as 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. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz USA in Vance, Alabama.
