2018 MERCEDES-BENZ AMG C43

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz AMG C43 is recorded with a salvage certificate and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible hood, grille, and bumper damage supports the stated unverified FRONT END code. The salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed or disproved from exterior photographs alone. The front end shows severe collision damage. The hood has pronounced creasing and raised deformation across the front section, mainly through the center and right-front edge, with an irregular edge above the grille and paint abrasion. The center grille is collapsed and distorted, with displaced sections and a large irregular opening. The front bumper cover is severely cracked, split, and displaced; its left corner and center are separated from the vehicle, exposing internal mounting areas and other components. The lower bumper trim and lip are cracked and separated, and multiple scraped and abraded areas are visible on the bumper cover. The front fascia is also separated around the left headlamp and grille, leaving open gaps and exposed dark internal areas. The supplied findings are limited to visible exterior damage. They do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, lighting, safety systems, suspension, drivetrain, or other internal components. A complete inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase or repair planning. The VIN decode identifies a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class AMG C43 convertible/cabriolet with all-wheel drive. It is equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged gasoline six-cylinder engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and was manufactured in Bremen, Germany.
