2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is identified by VIN W1KWF8EB6LR593788 as a C-Class sedan with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured in East London, South Africa. The visible damage is concentrated on the left rear side. The left rear door has several deep inward dents and sharp creases across its central and rear sections, including deformation around the door-handle area. The left rear quarter panel has a large, irregular inward deformation extending from the rear-door edge toward the rear wheel opening, with multiple visible creases. Both areas are assessed as moderate collision damage. Repair may require body-panel straightening or replacement, refinishing, and inspection of the door, quarter-panel attachment points, wheel-opening area, and surrounding structure. The auction lists the primary damage as “Left Front.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support this claim: the clearly visible damage is concentrated on the left rear door and left rear quarter panel, with no clear left-front collision damage visible. This discrepancy should be resolved through a physical inspection. The supplied NHTSA recall data identifies several campaigns associated with 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class/C300 vehicles. These include recalls involving the emergency-call communication module and vehicle-location accuracy (20V068000, 21V058000, and 22V365000), turbocharger oil-feed and return-line fasteners that could cause an oil leak (20V364000), front seat-belt retraction (21V032000), bonding of the front roof panel on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof (21V197000 and its expansion, 23V854000), possible LED headlight adjustment issues (21V509000), and rearview-camera software (22V232000). Recall completion status is not provided and should be verified with Mercedes-Benz using the VIN before purchase.
