2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC300 Base-4M

The vehicle is listed with a CERT OF TITLE – SALVAGE designation, and the auction’s primary-damage code is SIDE. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this SIDE classification: substantial deformation is present on the rear quarter panel, with additional scuffing on the side panel. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the provided images. The major recorded damage is on the visible-side rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area. The panel has a large inward depression with multiple sharp creases extending around the wheel arch and toward the rear lamp opening. This is classified as severe collision damage and will likely require significant body-panel repair or replacement, followed by refinishing. An irregular light-colored scuff and paint-transfer mark is also recorded across the lower-middle section of the visible-side front door. This is classified as minor cosmetic damage. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC300 Base-4M sport utility vehicle, manufactured in Bremen, Germany. It is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, engine model M274, with a listed output of 241 horsepower. The decoded information identifies front and side airbags, direct tire-pressure monitoring, and seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters. Drive type and transmission details were not provided by the VIN data. A complete physical inspection is recommended, particularly around the rear quarter structure, wheel-arch area, rear lamp mounting points, suspension, wheel and tire, alignment, and any related safety-system components. Assessment of the salvage-title history and repair quality should also be completed before purchase.
