2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

The auction records list the vehicle as **Salvage** with **Front End** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports the Front End claim: the front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving the internal front-end components exposed. Stage 1 also notes that the Salvage title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos alone. The front bumper cover is absent, exposing the aluminum reinforcement, radiator and condenser assemblies, wiring, lower plastic components, and internal supports. Both front headlamp assemblies and the grille are missing, leaving open mounting cavities at both front corners. Additional brackets, plastic supports, and other front-end components are exposed, while electrical wiring and connectors are visibly hanging across the lower radiator area. The extent of damage beneath the visible components, including any effect on structural, cooling, electrical, or driver-assistance systems, requires a thorough physical inspection.
