2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a salvage condition. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this condition and shows substantial left-side collision damage. The auction’s primary-damage code is “Unknown”; Stage 1 reports that this is contradicted by the visible evidence. The most significant damage is concentrated along the left side. The left front door is severely crushed and deeply creased through the middle and lower sections, with scraped paint, dark abrasion marks, exposed damaged material, and damage along the lower door edge. The adjacent rear edge of the left front fender is also deformed and abraded. Severe crushing, creasing, scraped paint, and an irregular opening are visible in the left rocker panel and side-skirt area below the front door. The left door sill and rocker area show additional pronounced deformation with exposed damaged material. These areas require detailed physical inspection to determine the extent of damage beneath the visible exterior panels. The lower left rear quarter panel near the rear wheel arch has moderate denting, paint abrasion, and broad gray transfer marks. Minor linear scuffs and superficial discoloration are also visible on the right front door and lower side skirt. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe manufactured in Bremen, Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine and an automatic transmission. The decoded data lists the C300-4M trim, although the drivetrain field itself is not specified. Factory-listed equipment includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and front and side airbags. The condition and operation of these systems, as well as the vehicle’s structural integrity, should be verified through a comprehensive inspection before purchase.
