2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The auction lists the primary damage as left front. Stage 1’s photo review found that the visible evidence supports this classification, including the missing left front headlamp and severe damage to the left front fender and bumper cover. The left front headlamp assembly is absent, leaving an open cavity. The removed assembly has a cracked lens, broken housing edges, and damaged mounting structure. The left front fender is severely deformed, with a torn and irregular edge around the wheel arch. The left front bumper cover is cracked, scraped, deformed, and partially detached in the same area. A small paint chip with exposed darker material is also present along the left front edge of the hood. At the rear, there is a pronounced open gap between the left rear bumper cover and the adjacent rear quarter-panel area, indicating moderate panel separation. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 sedan with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured in Vance, Alabama, USA. Factory-listed safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and a standard rear visibility system. The documented damage is concentrated primarily at the left front, with additional separation at the left rear bumper. A thorough inspection should confirm the condition of the underlying mounting points, surrounding body structure, lighting and safety systems, suspension, wheel-area components, and any hidden mechanical or electrical damage before repair or purchase.
