2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as “Clear” and identifies the primary damage as “Front End.” However, Stage 1 reports that the provided photos do not show clear front-end collision damage and that the “Front End” classification is not supported by the visible evidence. The documented visible damage is minor and cosmetic. Light, irregular white abrasion marks and linear scuffing are present on the lower rear bumper corner and adjacent lower body area near the rear wheel. A small light-colored abraded area is also visible on the outer side bolster of the front passenger seat back. No other damage findings were provided. The reported condition should nevertheless be verified through a physical inspection, including the front end, mechanical systems, underbody, and vehicle history. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline turbocharged M274 engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in the United States. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and side air bags, forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear visibility system.
