2020 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS GLS450-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “PUBLIC - SALVAGE TITLE” condition and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive damage to the left side supports the “SIDE” classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos alone. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class has severe collision damage concentrated on the left front side. The left front door is extensively crushed and creased, with deep irregular deformation, displaced panel surfaces, and significant paint damage. The adjacent lower side and front side panels are also visibly deformed. The left front fender has moderate creasing and an irregular surface around the door edge and wheel opening, with chipped or missing paint. The left exterior mirror assembly is damaged and does not appear intact. The restraint system has been activated. A curtain airbag is visibly deployed along the left side roof and window area above the rear passenger compartment, and the side airbag has deployed from the outer bolster of the left front seat. Further inspection and replacement of affected restraint-system components would be required. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a left-hand-drive, seven-seat SUV with a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline inline-six engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC trim designation. The VIN data lists production in Vance, Alabama, USA. Structural components, door and fender mounting points, the mirror wiring, wheel-area components, electrical systems, and the complete airbag and seat-belt systems should be thoroughly inspected before repair or purchase.
