2023 MERCEDES-BENZ GLE GLE350

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” designation, with FRONT END recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports the FRONT END classification: multiple front-end exterior components are missing, and the front assembly is exposed. However, the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front bumper cover and associated outer front-end components are absent, exposing internal components and wiring. Both front headlamp assemblies and the front grille are missing. The front fenders are absent on both the left and right sides, leaving the wheel areas and inner components exposed. The hood has a clearly visible irregular raised and depressed area across its central front section. The engine-bay area at the front is open, with multiple components, hoses, connectors, and wiring exposed. Detached parts shown separately include the front bumper cover, grille, radiator-related components, fan assembly, plastic panels, brackets, and other front-end parts. These findings indicate extensive front-end disassembly and collision-related damage. The condition of concealed structural, cooling, electrical, safety, and mechanical components is not established by the provided findings and should be verified through a thorough physical inspection. At the rear, the center-lower portion of the bumper cover has a narrow vertical split or crack below the chrome trim.
