Front bumper sag on prefacelift models.

I've been shopping these cars for a while now ( planning to get a cls 63 amg) and have noticed on a great deal of the ones i've looked at in person and online there seems to be a gap/sag in the front bumper. It is very noticeable at the bottom of the headlights where you can see the gap and some are so bad I can see behind the cover or can fit a finger in there. I was wondering is this a common issue with this car? And is it costly to fix? My thought is that people who drive over the parking spot block are forcing the bumper away over time and causing this.
