2019 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The auction lists this 2019 Mercedes-Benz C 300 as Salvage, with Rear recorded as the primary damage. Visible extensive rear collision damage supports the stated rear primary-damage code; however, the salvage title status itself cannot be confirmed from photos. The most significant damage is at the rear. The left rear quarter panel and fuel-filler area are severely crushed, with multiple sharp creases around the wheel arch and filler opening. The fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the filler housing exposed. The rear bumper cover and lower trim are absent across the rear, exposing the bumper reinforcement, mounting brackets, exhaust outlet, and heat-shield components. Both rear tail-lamp areas are affected: the left side has an open gap with exposed mounting structure and missing trim, while the right tail-lamp assembly is missing entirely and the surrounding quarter-panel area is deformed. The right lamp cavity and mounting holes are exposed. The front lower bumper and lower lip also show multiple light-colored abrasion and transfer marks, classified as minor cosmetic damage. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a rear-wheel-drive C-Class sedan with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, seven-speed automatic transmission, and approximately 255 horsepower. The VIN decode identifies Mercedes-Benz Cars as the manufacturer and the United States as the assembly country. Official recall records list campaigns associated with this vehicle covering the steering rack, radar-based Active Brake Assist software, 12-volt battery mounting, front seat-belt retraction, emergency-call communication software or activation, roof-panel bonding on vehicles with a panoramic sunroof, LED headlight adjustment, fuel-rail and injector leakage, and rearview-camera software. The listed campaign numbers are 18V850000, 19V540000, 19V586000, 21V032000, 21V058000, 21V072000, 21V197000, 21V509000, 21V961000, 22V365000, 22V232000, and 23V854000. Recall completion should be verified with Mercedes-Benz or an authorized dealer using the VIN. A complete physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including assessment of the rear body structure, fuel-filler system, bumper reinforcement and mounting points, exhaust and heat shields, tail-lamp wiring, rear safety systems, alignment, and any hidden mechanical or electrical damage.
