2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified damage claim: the front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, and the front edge of the hood is visibly deformed. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The complete front bumper cover and grille assembly are absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, cooling components, radiator and condenser surfaces, horns, wiring, hoses, mounting hardware, and other inner front-end components. Both front headlamp assemblies are missing, with open mounting areas and wiring visible at the front corners. Plastic corner trim and portions of the wheel-arch liners are also absent or torn away. The hood has an irregular, wavy front edge with localized creasing near both front corners. Overall, the vehicle has substantial front-end collision damage and is missing several major exterior components. A thorough physical inspection is recommended to assess the condition of the exposed components and determine the complete repair requirements.
