2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is listed with a Salvage title and “Left Side” as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe deformation and scuffing on the left rear door and left rear quarter panel support the stated Left Side damage claim. The Salvage title status itself cannot be confirmed or disproved from exterior photographs alone. The principal damage is concentrated on the left rear door and adjacent quarter panel. The door is deeply crushed and sharply creased around the handle, mid-door area, and rear edge, while the quarter panel is visibly distorted above and forward of the rear wheel and around the wheel-arch edge. Broad scuffing, scraping, and transferred surface marks cover the damaged panels. The rocker-panel trim below the rear door appears separated and irregular along its upper edge. The visible restraint-system damage is significant. A side airbag is deployed and hanging from the side area of the front seat, and the left-side curtain airbag is also deployed and hanging above and beside the rear seating area. The detached front bumper cover shown separately has multiple minor scuff and scrape marks. The findings provided do not establish the condition of the underlying structure, suspension, wheel, door operating mechanisms, electrical systems, or mechanical components; these areas require a detailed physical inspection and diagnostic assessment. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, C300 trim, equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Vance, Alabama. NHTSA records list multiple recalls associated with 2018 C-Class/C300 vehicles, involving airbag systems, seat belts and seatbacks, emergency-call communication software, headlights, roof-panel bonding, battery mounting or wiring, steering components, and rear-window bonding. Some campaigns are limited to particular body styles, drivetrains, equipment, or production vehicles, so applicability and completion should be verified by the VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase.
