2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 is listed with an auction primary-damage designation of “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this designation, with extensive damage across the hood, bumper, grille, headlamp area, cooling components, and front support area. The hood is severely crushed, heavily folded, and deeply creased across most of its visible surface. Paint is chipped or torn in several areas, with exposed underlying material and metal. Large sections of the front bumper cover and grille are missing or broken, while the remaining bumper and lower trim are torn, displaced, and separated from broken mounting points. The radiator and condenser cooling stack has extensively crushed and deformed fins. Surrounding plastic and metal components are displaced, and the visible radiator-support area is bent, separated, and affected by broken brackets. These findings indicate substantial damage to the front-end assembly and cooling area. The headlamp on the left side of the image is severely damaged, with part of its housing missing, internal components exposed, and wiring disconnected. Adjacent front-corner panel edges and trim are also distorted, broken, and separated around the headlamp opening. The windshield has multiple branching cracks in its lower-left area. A comprehensive physical inspection is required to determine the condition of concealed structural, cooling, electrical, restraint, and mechanical components, as well as the full extent of repairs needed. The vehicle identification data describes a German-built, left-hand-drive Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and standard front, side, and curtain airbag systems.
