2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS GLS450-4M

The auction record lists the condition designation as “DIS/DLR/EXP ONLY CLEAN TITLE (P)” and the primary damage as “MINOR DENT/SCRATCHES.” Stage 1 reports that the photographs support the presence of exterior scratches and scuffs, but do not clearly show a discrete minor dent as the primary damage; therefore, the stated minor dent/scratches claim is only partially supported. The visible damage is predominantly cosmetic. Multiple light scratches and surface marks are present on the front bumper and hood. Both front headlight lenses appear mildly hazy and discolored. Numerous narrow scratches and scuffs are visible across the left-side front fender, front door, rear door, rocker-panel area, rear quarter panel, and rear bumper, with similar marks on the right-side doors, quarter panel, and rear bumper. The rear liftgate and bumper also show several vertical and diagonal scratches or scuffs. A moderate depressed area with a diagonal crease is visible on the left rear door and adjoining rear-quarter area, extending toward the rear wheel arch. The steering-wheel rim has shiny, abraded, and worn areas consistent with leather surface wear. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class SUV, specifically the GLS450-4M trim, built in the United States. It is equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-liter gasoline V6 engine, identified as the M276, with six cylinders and a listed output of 362 horsepower.
