2019 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

This 2019 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is identified by VIN 55SWF8DB3KU301741 as a C-Class sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. The documented visible damage is cosmetic. Multiple light-colored linear scratches and scuff marks are present across the hood, particularly in the left-front and center areas. No clear denting or panel deformation is reported. Several elongated white scuff marks and linear scratches are also visible on the painted roof near the front-left edge of the sunroof. No clear shallow impact dents are reported in that area. The extent of paint penetration, repair requirements, and any concealed damage should be confirmed by an in-person inspection. The auction lists the primary damage as hail. This is an unverified auction claim. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support the hail claim: the roof, hood, and trunk appear largely smooth without the numerous shallow dents typically associated with hail damage, while localized linear scratches and scuffing are visible instead. NHTSA recall records provided for this model and year include campaigns concerning the emergency-call communication module software (21V058000, 22V365000, and 21V072000), the roof panel bonding near the panoramic sunroof (21V197000 and its expansion, 23V854000), the steering rack locknut (18V850000), the forward-collision radar software on vehicles equipped with the relevant driver-assistance package (19V540000), the 12-volt battery mounting bracket (19V586000), front seat-belt retraction (21V032000), LED headlight adjustment (21V509000), the fuel rail and injectors (21V961000), and rearview-camera software (22V232000). Applicability may depend on the vehicle’s equipment and configuration, and the completion status of these recalls is not provided. The VIN should be checked with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA to confirm which campaigns apply and whether all remedies have been completed.
