2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC 300 GLC300

The auction lists the primary damage as “Right Side.” However, Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible evidence does not support this claim: the prominent exterior damage is concentrated on the vehicle’s left side, including the left doors and rocker panel. The left front door has a large, irregular dent and deformation across the lower and middle sections. The lower portions of both left-side doors show broad horizontal scraping, dark material transfer, and areas of scraped paint. The left rocker panel/lower side sill also has extensive scuffing, exposed lighter-colored surface marks, and visibly irregular deformation. The windshield has multiple branching crack-like lines, concentrated across the upper and central passenger-side area. Inside the cabin, the left front seat cushion and outer bolster have multiple tears and missing upholstery, including a large opening in the bolster. The left rear seat cushion has a smaller tear with darker material exposed. Several irregular brownish discolorations are visible on the light-colored headliner near the front roof area. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC300 SUV, built in Germany. It is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and a left-hand-drive configuration. The decoded vehicle information lists a five-seat, two-row layout and 18-inch wheels. The visible damage warrants inspection of the left-side doors, rocker structure, door operation and sealing, windshield, seat upholstery, and any related safety systems before purchase.
