2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE COUPE GLE450

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe is listed by the auction with a salvage certificate of title and a “REAR END” primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated rear-end claim through the missing rear bumper cover and extensive rear-quarter damage; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The right rear quarter panel and wheel arch are severely deformed, with extensive scraping, missing paint, an irregular torn edge, and exposed underlying mounting surfaces. The left rear quarter and bumper corner also show severe damage, including exposed black mounting structures, missing bumper-cover material, and scuffing along the adjacent lower quarter panel. The rear bumper cover is missing across the rear of the vehicle. This exposes the bumper carrier, mounting brackets, lower reinforcement, exhaust outlets, and other underlying components. The right-side running board near the rear door is moderately damaged, with a displaced and deformed rear section and separated black and silver trim components. A passenger-side curtain airbag is visibly deployed, with the airbag fabric hanging from the roof area into the cabin. Minor dark scuff marks are also present on the lower front bumper and front lip. The vehicle requires a thorough structural, bumper-system, airbag, and mechanical inspection to determine the full extent of damage and the repairs required.
