The auction lists the primary damage as **Front End**. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this classification, identifying extensive damage concentrated at the front-left corner. The front-left headlamp assembly is severely cracked, displaced, and broken, with internal and outer components exposed. The hood is severely buckled and raised at the front-left corner, with scraped areas and missing paint. The front-left bumper cover is torn and substantially incomplete, exposing internal brackets, wiring, and other components. Adjacent lower bumper, grille, and trim pieces are broken, displaced, or hanging. The remaining bumper surface has prominent scuffing with lighter-colored material exposed. The front-left alloy wheel also has minor scuffing along the outer rim and spokes. The findings describe visible exterior damage only; the condition of concealed structural, suspension, steering, cooling, electrical, and safety-system components is not established and should be verified through a physical inspection and repair estimate.
