The auction lists the primary damage as Left Side.

The left rear door has a large concave dent with sharp creases across its central and lower sections. The left front door also has several linear scuffs and areas of scraped paint. Extensive dark scuffing is present along the lower left rocker-panel area beneath the doors. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC300 SUV, built in Germany.
