2014 MERCEDES-BENZ GLK GLK350 4-MATIC

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK is listed by the auction with a “CERT OF TITLE–SALVAGE” condition and a primary damage code of “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification because damage is clearly visible on the left rear door. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the exterior photos alone. The left rear door has a broad, moderately severe inward dent with visible creasing across its lower-middle section. Multiple light-colored linear scratches and areas of paint scuffing are present over and around the dent. The right side of the rear bumper also has a moderately damaged appearance in the exhaust outlet area, where an open black recess is visible without the matching trim or outlet finish seen on the opposite side. The documented damage is concentrated on the left rear door and the right rear bumper exhaust-outlet area. A physical inspection and repair estimate would be required to assess any concealed damage, confirm the condition of the exhaust outlet area, and determine the full scope of restoration.
