2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the stated primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has sustained extensive, severe damage. The hood is sharply creased, folded, and heavily deformed across the front and left sections. The front bumper, grille, and related fascia components are missing, exposing the radiator, cooling stack, wiring, support members, and other internal components. Both front corners are damaged: the left fender is severely deformed around the wheel arch, while the right fender has moderate deformation and an irregular gap near the hood. The right headlamp assembly is displaced, with surrounding fascia broken or absent. Visible front support members around the radiator and lower front structure are bent, displaced, and irregular. Loose wiring and detached components extend below the front of the vehicle, and additional broken plastic and trim pieces are visible beside the right front corner. The extent of the visible damage indicates that the cooling and front-support areas will require detailed inspection and repair assessment. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the driver steering-wheel airbag, additional driver-side dashboard airbags, and curtain airbags along the roof-side areas of the passenger compartment. The photographs do not establish the condition of hidden mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, or structural components, so a comprehensive physical inspection and diagnostic assessment would be required before purchase or repair.
