2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE COUPE

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification; however, the salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front end has extensive severe collision damage. The front bumper cover, grille, surrounding fascia, and both headlamp assemblies are absent or damaged, exposing internal components, wiring, cooling components, the radiator, and front reinforcement areas. A broken headlamp assembly and a large detached fascia component are visible on the ground. Multiple lower front plastic and trim components are also detached and hanging below the vehicle. The hood is heavily crushed, with deep buckling, torn edges, exposed underlayer, and chipped paint. The front fender is folded and torn, with separated edges and exposed internal areas. The side mirror housing is broken open and incomplete. Additional moderate damage is visible along the side of the vehicle, including pronounced dents and creases across the doors and rear quarter panel, light-colored scuff marks, and distortion and separation in the side step and lower rocker trim. The steering-wheel airbag and a lower driver-side dashboard airbag are deployed. Multiple instrument-cluster warning indicators are illuminated, including restraint, ABS, tire-pressure, engine, and stability-control warnings. Overall, the vehicle shows extensive front-end collision damage, supplemental restraint-system deployment, and additional side-panel damage. The full condition of the structure, cooling system, wiring, mechanical components, and safety systems cannot be determined from these findings alone and requires a thorough physical inspection.
