2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 4MATIC SUV

The auction records the vehicle as **Salvage** and lists **Front End** as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Front End classification, citing substantial removal of front-end components and visible damage to the hood and cooling area. The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 has severe front-end collision damage. The front bumper cover, main grille, surrounding grille trim, lower fascia components, air-intake grilles, and related plastic coverings are missing. Both headlamp assemblies are absent from the vehicle; the removed lamps, bumper cover, grille pieces, trim, and multiple mounting/support components are shown separately on the ground. The bumper reinforcement, cooling components, brackets, wiring, and lower front structure are exposed, with electrical wiring and connectors visibly hanging in the front fascia area. The hood has pronounced deformation along its leading edge and both front corners, including raised and buckled sections, enlarged gaps above the cooling area, and chipped or missing paint. The visible radiator and condenser cooling fins contain extensive bent and irregular sections. The findings do not establish the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint, or driver-assistance systems. A complete inspection is required, including verification of the front structure, cooling system, wiring, sensors, alignment, engine and transmission operation, and proper operation of all safety systems before repair or purchase decisions are made.
