2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE 350 GLE350

This 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE 350 is listed with a salvage condition and an auction primary-damage designation of “Flood.” Stage 1 reports that exterior, interior, and dashboard photos show no visible flood indicators, including no consistent tide line, lower-door or rocker-panel staining, carpet or sill water staining, mud or silt residue, visible corrosion, or mold-like discoloration. Based on the provided photos, Stage 1 considers the unverified flood-damage claim unsupported by visible evidence. An airbag warning indicator is visible on the instrument cluster, although the cluster otherwise displays normally without widespread malfunction indicators. A physical inspection and review of repair, title, and water-exposure records remain important. No additional structured damage findings were provided. The VIN decodes as a U.S.-built Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV with a 2.0-liter turbocharged M264 gasoline four-cylinder engine, rated at 255 horsepower, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The drivetrain is not specified in the available VIN data. The vehicle is configured as a five-seat, two-row SUV with 19-inch wheels. NHTSA recall records for the 2020 GLE 350 include campaigns involving the dashboard and passenger-airbag deployment, emergency-call communication software, rearview-camera display and multimedia software, the engine-compartment prefuse-box wiring, air-conditioning drain hoses that could allow water into the passenger compartment, rear door-window trim, the rear crossmember, instrument-cluster software, seat assembly, ESP software, LED headlight adjustment, and—if equipped—the illuminated grille star’s electrical ground connection. Recall completion status is not provided; verify the VIN with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer and confirm that all applicable repairs have been completed.
