2017 MERCEDES-BENZ GLS GLS550-4M

The auction records this vehicle as having a salvage vehicle title, with vandalism listed as the primary damage. These are unverified auction designations. Stage 1 reports that the extensive broken or missing glazing and missing exterior components are consistent with the reported vandalism damage; however, the photographs cannot establish the cause of the damage or confirm the salvage-title status. The vehicle has extensive exterior and glazing damage. Both front exterior mirrors are missing their covers and reflective glass, exposing internal components. The right and left rear quarter windows are missing. The rear liftgate window is also missing, with jagged remaining glass fragments around the frame. The windshield has extensive radiating cracks and intersecting fracture lines across a large area. Both rear doors show moderate panel deformation. The right rear door has a pronounced crease around the handle and central door area, while the left rear door has a vertical crease and broad denting around the handle and middle section. The left rear quarter panel is also deformed between the rear door and wheel-arch area. The front grille emblem is missing. Minor surface scuffs and dark marks are present on the lower front bumper, as well as around the rear license-plate recess and lower rear bumper/liftgate area. The front right tire has visibly shallow and uneven remaining tread. No mechanical or structural inspection findings are provided, and the vehicle should not be considered fully roadworthy until the missing glazing, exposed mirror components, cracked windshield, body damage, and tire condition have been professionally assessed. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class GLS550-4M SUV with all-wheel drive, a turbocharged 4.7-liter M278 gasoline V8 rated at 429 horsepower. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz of North America in the United States.
