2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLC GLC300

The vehicle is a 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class GLC 300 with a salvage title designation. The auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports this claim because the front bumper cover, grille, and lower front fascia components are missing; it also notes substantial collision damage at the right rear. The front bumper cover, grille assembly, and lower front fascia are absent across the front of the vehicle. The bumper reinforcement, mounting hardware, cooling components, attachment points, and wiring are exposed. Exterior trim and fastener locations are also missing around the front wheel-arch and bumper-side areas. At the rear, the bumper cover is missing, exposing the rear reinforcement, brackets, wiring, and lower mounting components. The right rear taillight is absent, with its cavity and wiring exposed. The right rear quarter panel and body metal around the lamp opening and wheel arch show pronounced denting, creasing, and deformation. Trim at the left rear bumper-side and wheel-arch area is also missing. Multiple detached bumper, grille, trim, and mounting components are reported lying beside the vehicle. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a Germany-built 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class SUV with a gasoline 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder M254 engine, rated at 255 horsepower, and a nine-speed transmission. Factory safety equipment listed by the decoder includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. Some driver-assistance features are listed as optional. The documented damage is extensive at both the front and rear, with several exterior body, lighting, fascia, mounting, and wiring components missing or exposed. A thorough physical inspection is recommended to assess any damage not visible in the available findings, including structural areas, cooling and electrical systems, lighting operation, sensors, and mechanical components.
