2019 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front & Rear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: front fascia components are missing, while the rear bumper cover and both rear tail lamps are absent. The vehicle has extensive collision-related damage at both ends. At the front, the bumper cover, main grille, lower fascia and air-intake trim are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator/cooling components and inner mounting structures. The left front headlamp assembly is also absent. At the rear, the bumper cover and both tail-lamp assemblies are missing; the lamp openings are covered with yellow tape, and the reinforcement and mounting areas are exposed. The rear reinforcement has extensive white abrasion and scuffing. Detached bumper-cover and trim pieces are visible on the ground beside the vehicle. Additional damage is visible along the left side. The left rear door has multiple horizontal scratches, paint scuffing and a visible dent. The adjacent left rear quarter panel has scratches, paint transfer and localized deformation near the wheel opening. The left rocker panel and lower side sill show extensive scraped paint and dark abrasion marks. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300-4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in the United States. The NHTSA records supplied for this model year include recalls concerning communication-module/eCall operation (21V058000, 22V365000 and 21V072000), the roof panel bonding on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof (21V197000 and 23V854000), forward-collision radar software (19V540000), the 12-volt battery mounting bracket (19V586000), front seat-belt retraction (21V032000), LED headlamp adjustment (21V509000), a possible fuel-rail leak (21V961000), and rearview-camera software (22V232000). A steering-rack recall, 18V850000, is also listed for certain rear-wheel-drive variants. Recall applicability to this specific VIN, as well as completion status, should be confirmed with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase. The vehicle should be treated as requiring substantial parts replacement and collision repair. The condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, wiring, restraint systems, lighting systems, suspension, drivetrain and mechanical components cannot be determined from these findings and requires a comprehensive physical inspection before estimating the total repair cost.
