2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1’s assessment is that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, with additional front-end component damage visible. The complete front bumper cover is absent, exposing the front reinforcement, cooling components, mounting brackets, and wiring. Both front headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving open mounting areas and wiring at the front corners. The grille, lower front fascia, and associated trim are also absent, exposing the radiator and condenser area. The front hood edge has an uneven contour and visible deformation near one corner. The front wheel-well liner and adjacent bumper-side components are absent or displaced, leaving the wheel-well area and attached wiring exposed. Electrical wiring and a connector are hanging loose across the exposed front assembly. These areas will require detailed physical inspection for damage to underlying structural, cooling, electrical, lighting, and mounting components. A small light-colored vertical scuff or paint-transfer mark is visible on the rear quarter panel. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe, manufactured in Germany, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine and automatic transmission. The decoded trim is listed as C300-4M; the drivetrain is not independently specified in the available vehicle information.
