2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 4MATIC

The auction record identifies the vehicle as Salvage, with “Left Side” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified Left Side damage code, with extensive collision damage on the left doors, rocker panel, front fender, and front bumper. Stage 1 could not independently confirm the Salvage title status from exterior photographs. The most significant damage is concentrated along the left side. Both the left front and left rear doors are severely crushed and deeply creased, with torn outer panels, exposed inner material, and an opening in the lower front area of the rear door. The left rocker panel and lower door sill are also severely crushed, torn, and irregularly deformed. The left front fender has multiple dents, creases, and scraped areas around the wheel opening and rear edge. The left front bumper corner is torn, cracked, and partially detached, with missing sections and exposed black components. The left headlamp is displaced and does not sit flush with the surrounding body panels. Additional dark scuffing and paint transfer are visible on the lower front bumper cover. The reported findings indicate substantial collision damage; the condition of underlying structural, suspension, steering, restraint, electrical, and mechanical components is not established and should be verified through a thorough physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class GLE350-4M SUV, manufactured in the United States. It is equipped with a 3.5-liter M276 gasoline V6 engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and five-passenger seating. The decoded data lists several standard and optional driver-assistance and safety systems; their present condition and operation cannot be determined from the provided findings. Four NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. They concern the emergency-call communication system, including software or activation issues, and a fuel-pump control-module issue involving possible water accumulation in the spare-tire well that could cause an engine stall. Recall completion status for this vehicle is not provided and should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN before purchase.
