2022 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC300 4MATIC

The vehicle is a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC 300 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. VIN decoding identifies Finland as the manufacturing country. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification: substantial damage is present on the left front door, the adjacent fender area, and the rocker/side-skirt area. The left front door has severe deformation, including a pronounced inward dent, multiple sharp creases, scraped paint, paint loss, exposed dark gaps, and deformation along the lower and hinge-side edges. The rear section of the left front fender, next to the door and behind the wheel arch, has moderate creasing and scraped paint. The rocker panel or side-skirt area below the front door also has moderate deformation, irregular edges, and surface scraping. Several light linear marks are visible on the left side of the rear windshield. The provided findings do not document mechanical, structural, interior, or underbody conditions. A thorough physical inspection is recommended, including checks of the door hinges and latch, adjacent body structure, rocker panel, wheel and suspension area, safety systems, alignment, and possible hidden damage before purchase or repair.
