2018 MERCEDES-BENZ SLC SLC 300

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz SLC is listed in the auction record with a salvage title and “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1’s assessment is that the visible evidence supports this rear-end damage claim: substantial damage is present to the rear bumper area, both rear corners, the left rear quarter panel, and the trunk area. Stage 1 also notes that substantial front-end damage is present. At the front, the bumper cover and central grille are missing, exposing the radiator area, front mounting components, and other front-end parts. Components behind the bumper opening are crushed and displaced, particularly across the lower front center and right front corner, with broken plastic and exposed mounting points. The hood is creased and deformed along its front edge and center, while both headlamp assemblies and their surrounding areas appear displaced. The right front fender and headlamp surround have irregular edges and visible gaps. The windshield has multiple linear cracks near its upper-center area, and light scuffing is visible on the left front fender, door, and lower side panel. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement and mounting areas. Both rear corners show severe damage, including crushed and torn components, missing exterior plastic, exposed mounting points, and irregular body surfaces. The left rear quarter panel is heavily creased and deformed around the wheel-arch area. The trunk lid and adjacent rear panel have dents, creases, and uneven contours, and the exposed lower rear reinforcement area is visibly deformed. Multiple airbags are visibly deployed from the steering wheel, passenger-side dashboard, and driver-side lower dashboard areas. Overall, the vehicle has extensive collision damage at both the rear and front, along with windshield damage and deployed airbags. сед
