Trueking Auto Sale LLc, a used car dealer, showcased a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLS450 with significant structural damage. The damage, not immediately apparent, was revealed through a detailed examination of the wheel wells. The lack of space between the tires and the body, as pointed out by the author, is a clear sign of frame damage, potentially affecting safety and value. "This is structural damage," stated Trueking Auto Sale LLc in the video, "Nobody is going to buy this car for an expensive price because this car needs more work."
