It’s been hit/hit something on the LF. The bumper cover is hanging low. No idea
what the “wheel locking” is unless the power steering needs fluid. Given the
general state of dirtiness the son probably has not paid any attention to it
and has little concern for it given the hit.
RUN AWAY!!!
If you are going to make a habit of dismantling cars, you need to get a
good impact wrench.

Hood and bumper panel gaps don't look right on the driver's side.
Wonder what "wheel locking" means.

I managed to get the front wheels off the ML350 parts car. I think the bolts
were cranked to about 200+ftlbs as I had to stand on the bar and jump a bit
with my 194lb container. Got the transfer case, transmission, and torque
converter off the engine. I am told those were fine when the engine
I had to undergo the same procedure to obtain a spare key for my "new" 1985
300SD. Dealer insisted on inspecting the car even though I already had a
key.

Must be. I had a local locksmith come to my Focus, parked on the side of the
road, and reprogram it to accept a new key because my boy had lost the last
RFID-chipped key we had.
I don't recall presenting any ID to him. The only way I demonstrated that the
car was mine is I had a plain key
Our local car thieves are WAY more sophisticated than those elsewhere.
Hence, the security hoops we "honest" folks must jump through to verify
identity are correspondingly arduous.

Not true, this is a random dealer “policy” that is not supported by MBUSA.
I rarely, if ever, bring the car in that I am ordering a key for. Now in
fairness, my dealer wants you to bring the car in to verify the key works
before it leaves the dealership, but they never bother me with this.

There should be an better way to prove ownership. Having the car physically
present seems not so difficult, there are any number of towing companies who
could be pursuaded to tow a random car to a dealership.
Having a title and matching state-issued ID and registration paperwork seems
like a
And the catch 22 is that the dealer will not order a key unless the car is
present at the dealership so they can confirm the VIN in person. So add
towing to the cost of that key...

It is a sad statement on business today that you might ever even need to
consider calling the CEO of a company to get their attention to fix some stupid
issue.
At the vast northern estate in Caribou we have an excellent family owned
independent lumberyard. They're a little more expensive
