2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

The vehicle is a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 SUV with a 3.5-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine (M276), rated at 302 hp. VIN decoding identifies Mercedes-Benz of North America as the manufacturer, with production in the United States. The auction records list the vehicle condition as Salvage and the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the Front End damage classification, with extensive damage to the front bumper, front-left lamp area, and hood. The Salvage title status could not be independently confirmed from exterior photographs. The front bumper cover is severely damaged on the left side and lower section. It is broken, partially detached, and missing sections, with exposed components and hanging wiring visible. The front-left headlamp is missing from its installed position, leaving an open cavity with internal components and wiring exposed. The detached headlamp assembly has multiple cracks and abrasions across its lens and housing. The hood has dents and creases along the front-left edge and near the front center. The front-left fender and trim surrounding the lamp opening also have broken and missing sections, exposing internal components. These areas will require a detailed inspection for damage to mounting points, cooling components, wiring, sensors, and other components behind the visible body damage. The instrument cluster displays the message, “Check Right Daytime Running Light,” indicating an additional lighting-related warning. Inside the vehicle, the upper center portion of the front seat backrest has visible abrasion or scuffing. Repair requirements and total cost cannot be determined from the provided findings alone. The vehicle should undergo a comprehensive structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-system inspection before purchase.
