2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is listed with “Rear” as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this auction claim. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated at the rear. The trunk lid is heavily creased and deformed along the lower edge and right side, displaced from its normal position, and surrounded by large, uneven gaps. The rear bodywork around the trunk opening and right rear corner is also distorted, with bent panel edges and exposed inner areas. The trunk lid is raised and displaced, with a taped exterior area near the right hinge-side section. The rear bumper cover is torn, heavily scuffed, separated from the body, and missing or detached in multiple areas. Components behind the bumper are exposed. The right rear tail lamp assembly is broken and pulled away from its installed position, with exposed internal components and separated surrounding trim. The adjacent body panels are creased and separated. The extent of the damage indicates that inspection of the rear body structure, trunk fitment, lamp wiring, bumper reinforcement, and related components will be necessary before repair or road use. Mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, and structural conditions not visible in the provided findings remain unconfirmed. VIN decoding identifies this 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 an approximately 241-horsepower engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Vance, Alabama, USA.
