2012 MERCEDES-BENZ SLK SLK350

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated damage code, while noting that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover and central grille are missing, exposing the radiator and other front-end components. The lower front fascia, corner trim, and adjacent plastic parts are also missing or broken. The front image-right headlamp assembly is absent, with the removed headlamp and bumper components shown separately; the removed bumper assembly has broken plastic sections, fractured grille mesh, and separated mounting areas. A pronounced dent and crease are visible in the front fender near the damaged headlamp area. The remaining front image-left headlamp lens has pronounced yellowing and cloudiness. These findings are consistent with substantial front-end collision damage, although the condition of concealed components and the extent of any mechanical or structural damage cannot be determined from the provided findings. Inside, the red leather front seats show extensive cracking, creasing, discoloration, and surface wear. The steering-wheel covering is also worn and glossy in areas along the rim.
