2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC GLC 300-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and the auction’s primary-damage designation is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports this primary-damage code; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front end shows severe collision damage. The hood is heavily deformed across its front section, with a large uneven gap and a distorted leading edge above the grille and headlamp area. The front bumper cover is torn and displaced, with missing or open sections, exposed components, and damaged lower chrome trim. The central grille is missing or broken, leaving internal components visible. The front-right headlamp assembly is severely damaged, with its outer area broken and internal components exposed and displaced. The front fender at the affected corner has a large dent and multiple creases. The exposed radiator-support area contains severely bent and compressed metal, with displaced sheet metal and open gaps around the front cooling components. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, and the right-side curtain airbag is deployed along the roofline and side-window area. The restraint system, possible structural damage, cooling system, lighting, wiring, and other mechanical components require a thorough physical inspection before any assessment of roadworthiness or repair cost. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC 300-4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Finland.
