2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS GLS450-4M

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS450 4M is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s primary damage designation is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this designation: the front bumper, grille, and multiple front fascia components are missing. Substantial removal of rear bumper-area components is also visible. At the front, the complete bumper cover, grille, center fascia, and corner trim are absent. Both front corners have missing bumper and lower fascia components, with internal brackets and other components exposed. The left front bumper and wheel-arch trim are also missing, while the radiator and condenser area remains visibly exposed. At the rear, the bumper cover and lower rear fascia are missing across the visible rear areas. The left and right rear bumper corners have missing trim, exposing mounting structures and internal components. Wiring harnesses and connectors are visibly hanging outside the vehicle near both rear corners. The extent of missing exterior components indicates that significant parts replacement and inspection will be required. The exposed wiring, mounting structures, radiator/condenser area, and other visible components should be checked for damage, correct routing, and proper operation before repair completion. The findings do not establish the condition of hidden mechanical, structural, electrical, safety-system, or drivetrain components. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive, seven-seat AWD SUV with a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline V6 engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and Mercedes-Benz M276 engine designation. It was manufactured in Vance, Alabama, USA.
