2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is recorded with a salvage condition and a primary damage classification of “Rear.” Visible rear collision damage supports the auction’s “Rear” classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The right rear quarter panel and rear body corner are severely crushed and deformed. The metal around the right tail-lamp and bumper-mounting area is torn and irregular, and the body below and behind the tail lamp is folded and crushed. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper beam, mounting hardware, wiring, and lower rear exhaust-related components. The detached bumper cover has broken or deformed mounting edges and exterior scuffing. The right side of the trunk lid and trunk opening are also deformed, with an irregular raised edge and an uneven gap along the right side. This damage indicates that substantial rear body repair and replacement work will be required. The condition of concealed structural components, the exhaust system, wiring, lighting, sensors, trunk sealing, and mechanical systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be assessed during a physical inspection. Factory decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 sedan with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and front and side air bags with seat-belt pretensioners. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in the United States. The drivetrain was not provided in the decode. Official recall records list multiple campaigns affecting certain 2018 C300 configurations. These include recalls involving emergency-call communication software, front seat-belt retraction, passenger air-bag occupant classification, headlight adjustment, the 12-volt battery mounting bracket and positive-terminal cover, rear-window bonding, steering components on applicable rear-wheel-drive vehicles, and roof-panel bonding on vehicles equipped with a panoramic sunroof. Some recalls apply only to specific body styles, drivetrains, equipment, or vehicles that underwent prior repairs, so completion and VIN-specific applicability should be confirmed with a Mercedes-Benz dealer before purchase. Overall, the documented condition is consistent with severe impact damage concentrated at the right rear corner, with the rear bumper assembly removed and adjacent quarter-panel and trunk areas deformed. A comprehensive structural, electrical, restraint-system, and mechanical inspection is recommended before estimating repair costs or considering the vehicle roadworthy.
