2024 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS

The auction records list a **salvage certificate of title** and identify **SIDE** as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, with severe damage on the left side. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage certificate of title cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The left front door outer panel has extensive inward deformation and creasing, with multiple light-colored scuff marks across the middle and lower sections. The left rear door assembly is missing, leaving the rear passenger compartment exposed. The left rocker panel and lower door sill are severely deformed, with scraped surfaces, exposed metal, and damaged or missing exterior trim. Airbag fabric is visibly deployed along the left roof-side area and from the left front seat/door-side area. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS580 4MATIC SUV with all-wheel drive, a 4.0-liter turbocharged gasoline V8 engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. The observed damage indicates that substantial body, structural-area, door, trim, and restraint-system repair will be required. A complete physical inspection is recommended to assess the rocker and sill structure, door mounting areas, interior exposure, airbag and seat-belt systems, wiring, and any damage not visible in the supplied findings.
