2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS

The vehicle is listed with a salvage/rebuildable certificate of title and an auction primary-damage designation of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage code; however, the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has extensive severe damage. The hood is heavily crushed and sharply creased across the front edge and center-right area, with damaged paint and open gaps at the front corners. The front bumper assembly, grille, both headlamp assemblies, and both front fender panels are missing, leaving wiring, cooling components, radiator areas, inner wheel wells, and mounting structures exposed. The lower center of the windshield also has a visibly cracked and fragmented area. The VIN decodes as a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS450 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter turbocharged M256 six-cylinder gasoline engine, and a 9-speed transmission. Factory data lists standard safety and driver-assistance equipment including ABS, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, parking assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States by Mercedes-Benz of North America. The findings describe visible exterior damage only. A complete inspection is required to determine the condition of the underlying front-end structure, cooling system, wiring, safety systems, steering and suspension components, powertrain, and other parts not visible in the provided findings.
