2016 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” designation, and the auction’s primary-damage code is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END code, citing extensive front-end crushing, missing components, hood deformation, and a cracked windshield. The salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be independently confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is heavily folded and crumpled, with sharp creases, torn paint, and displaced sections. The front bumper, grille, and headlamp assemblies are missing or destroyed, leaving internal components and mounting areas exposed. The front corners and the left front fender are extensively deformed and torn around the wheel arch. The windshield has dense, branching cracks across much of its surface. The driver and front passenger airbags are deployed, with additional deployment visible from the dashboard and left-side cabin area. This indicates that the restraint system will require thorough inspection and likely replacement of affected components before the vehicle can be considered road-ready. At the rear, the right bumper corner has extensive scuffing, deep scratches, scraped paint, and visible deformation. The outer bolster of the front passenger seat also shows abrasion, discoloration, and surface material loss. The vehicle should be treated as requiring major collision repair. A complete inspection should include the frame and front structure, suspension and steering components, cooling and electrical systems, airbag and restraint systems, windshield mounting area, wheel alignment, and any hidden damage behind the visibly missing or displaced front-end components.
