2014 MERCEDES-BENZ GL GL450 4MATIC

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz GL is listed with a Salvage Certificate, and the auction identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage to the hood, front corners, and bumper supports the stated front-end primary-damage claim. The Salvage Certificate status cannot be confirmed from the provided exterior and interior photographs. The front end shows severe collision damage. The hood is significantly deformed, with pronounced upward displacement, multiple sharp creases, and a large irregular gap above the front fascia. The body panels adjacent to both headlamps are also distorted, with uneven contours and panel gaps. The front bumper cover and lower fascia have broken and missing sections at both lower corners, exposing components behind the bumper; loose or displaced bumper material is also visible. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is deployed, and additional restraint fabric is hanging from the lower driver-side dashboard area. This indicates that the restraint system will require inspection and likely replacement of affected components. There is also minor surface scuffing on the right rear bumper corner, below and forward of the tail lamp. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, including checks of the front structural components, cooling and lighting systems, suspension, steering, wiring, and the complete airbag and restraint system before purchase or repair.
