2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 COUPE 4MATIC

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Coupe is listed with “Left Side” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, citing extensive crushing and deformation along the left rocker and door-sill area. The most significant damage is concentrated on the left side. The left rocker panel and door-sill area are severely crushed and sharply creased, with torn trim, displaced components, exposed underlying material, and damaged or separated fastener areas. The left front door and adjacent lower side have white material transfer, chipped paint, and surface gouging. The left rear bumper corner and wheel-arch area also show gouges, linear scratches, and chipped paint. Curtain and side airbags are visibly deployed along the left side of the passenger compartment, including the front and left-side cabin areas. Airbag-system components and related restraint systems will require professional inspection and likely replacement before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. The rear cargo opening and cargo area contain heavily deformed panels with pronounced folds, displacement, separated edges, and irregular creasing. The extent of the rocker deformation and the deployed airbags indicates that repairs may involve significant body, structural, restraint-system, trim, and electronic work. A complete inspection should include the rocker and floor structure, door alignment, suspension and underbody components, wiring, airbag control systems, seat belts, and chassis measurements.
