2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The vehicle is listed with a salvage condition and an auction primary-damage classification of “Left Side.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with substantial damage observed around the left front door, fender, rocker area, and left rear door. The left front door is missing, leaving the door opening, hinges, wiring, and interior exposed. The detached door assembly shown separately is severely crushed and creased, with torn panel areas and exposed wiring. The rear edge of the left front fender is visibly deformed. The left lower sill and front door-aperture area show scuffing, scraped paint, and localized deformation. The left rear door has multiple pronounced dents and creases, along with scraped paint and light-colored paint transfer on the outer panel and front edge. Side curtain airbags are deployed along the left front and rear roofline/window area. Numerous glass fragments are visible across the instrument cluster and dashboard. Factory decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 sedan with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The VIN indicates manufacture by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Vance, Alabama. The reported damage is substantial and includes body, restraint-system, wiring, and glass-related damage. A complete structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-system inspection will be required before assessing repairability or roadworthiness.
