2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC 350 e-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title certificate, and the auction’s stated primary damage is “front end.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts this classification: the front exterior appears largely intact, while substantial damage is concentrated at the rear. Salvage-title status cannot be verified from exterior photos. The rear quarter panels and body corners show severe collision damage, including pronounced deformation, sharp creasing, torn edges, exposed bare metal, and exposed inner body material around the tail-lamp openings. The rear bumper cover, bumper corners, and lower bumper trim are missing, leaving the bumper reinforcement, wiring, mounting components, and other internal parts exposed. One rear lamp assembly is also missing, with its cavity and mounting points visible. The wheel-arch molding adjacent to the damaged rear corner is absent, exposing the panel edge and fastener locations. Overall, the visible findings indicate extensive rear-end collision damage requiring substantial body-panel, bumper, lighting, trim, and likely related component repairs. A physical inspection is recommended to assess hidden structural, electrical, and mechanical damage.
