2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as **Salvage** with **Front End** as the primary damage. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports the Front End damage classification through extensive front-end damage and missing components; however, the photographs do not independently establish salvage-title status. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated across the front. The hood is crushed and sharply deformed through the center and leading edge, with multiple deep creases, scratches, a folded front edge, and uneven panel gaps. The complete front bumper cover, lower fascia, grille, surrounding trim, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. The radiator and condenser area, front reinforcement, brackets, mounting structures, and related components are exposed. Loose electrical wiring and connectors are visible below the front assembly and at both front corners. The provided VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, C300-4M trim, with a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The VIN data identifies the manufacturer as Mercedes-Benz Cars and the assembly plant as Vance, Alabama, USA. Drive type and transmission details were not provided in the decode. A complete inspection should determine the condition of the exposed cooling system, front structural and mounting components, wiring, sensors, engine-bay components, and any parts not visible in the provided findings. Replacement of the missing front-end components and assessment of related systems will be required.
