2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The vehicle is a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 300 sedan, VIN 55SWF4KB6JU250911. The decoded specification identifies a gasoline 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder M274 engine rated at 241 horsepower, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded trim is C300-4M. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. The auction records classify the vehicle as salvage and list “Front End” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this primary-damage claim: the hood is severely deformed, while the front bumper, grille, and associated fascia components are missing. The hood has extensive dents, sharp creases, and a large deformed area across the front and center sections. Paint is chipped and missing over the damaged area, exposing a darker underlying surface. The front bumper cover, center grille, complete front fascia, and lower air-intake trim are absent. These omissions expose the radiator area, front reinforcement, metal mounting components, and other internal front-end parts. Loose or detached trim and other components are visible below the front end. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag is visibly deployed. The findings do not establish the condition of the remaining airbags, seat belts, steering, suspension, cooling system, structural components, or mechanical and electrical systems. A complete physical inspection and verification of required repairs would therefore be necessary before assessing roadworthiness or repair cost. NHTSA records provided for this 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class/C300 range include recalls concerning emergency-call communication software, the front roof panel on vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, front-seatback locking, the driver frontal airbag grounding system, front seat-belt retraction, headlight adjustment, passenger-airbag status display, the steering rack on applicable rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the 12-volt battery mounting bracket and battery cable cover, rear-window bonding, and, for specific vehicles, the steering coupling and rear beltline trim. These records include multiple C300 configurations, but applicability can depend on the vehicle’s exact body style, drivetrain, equipment, and production details. Recall completion status for this vehicle was not provided and should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
