2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 4MATIC

The auction lists the primary damage as front-end damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim. The front bumper cover is severely damaged or missing from the front end. It is torn, heavily deformed, separated from the body, and shown detached from the vehicle together with the grille assembly. Deep scratches, torn edges, deformed sections, and an open lower corner are visible. With the bumper removed, the front reinforcement, radiator/condenser area, wiring, and lower front components are exposed. Lower front trim and underbody pieces are also displaced and hanging below the vehicle. Additional collision damage is visible around the same front corner. The headlamp lens and lower housing are cracked, the front fender is bent and separated around the wheel arch, and the hood has an irregular front-edge contour with uneven gaps. The grille and surrounding fascia are separated from the adjacent hood, headlamp, and bumper areas, with straps visible across the grille area. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe, identified as a C 300-4M trim, with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine and automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Bremen, Germany. The available data does not confirm the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, wiring, structural components, or safety systems. A thorough physical inspection and functional testing will be required before repair or purchase decisions are made.
