2024 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The auction lists the vehicle as Salvage with “Left Side” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified left-side damage claim, with substantial deformation and scraping visible on the left front fender, left front door, and adjacent rocker area. The Salvage title status cannot be independently confirmed from photographs. The left front fender is severely creased and deformed around the wheel arch and rear edge, with extensive paint scraping and exposed lighter-colored areas. The front portion of the left front door and adjacent edge area also show pronounced creasing, irregular panel surfaces, extensive scraping, and areas of missing or abraded paint. The rocker-panel or side-skirt trim below the front door is scraped and has an irregular lower edge. The front bumper has moderate damage to its lower sections, including white abrasion marks, scuffing, an uneven edge, an irregular gap, and a separated or displaced portion of the black lower trim. The lower corner of the rear bumper has a localized scraped area with an irregular, fractured-looking section. Factory data identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 300 sedan, VIN W1KAF4GB6RR213373, built in South Africa. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and standard equipment including ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, parking assistance, and a rear visibility system. NHTSA records list three recalls for the 2024 C 300 model: a fuel-pump recall that may cause loss of drive power, an 80-amp fuse/main fuse-box recall that may cause loss of drive power or safety functions and increase fire risk, and a driver-side front seat-belt cover recall that may allow the belt anchor to loosen. The vehicle’s recall completion status and VIN-specific applicability should be verified with Mercedes-Benz before purchase. A thorough inspection is recommended to assess hidden structural, suspension, wheel, restraint-system, sensor, and mechanical damage, as these items are not established by the provided findings.
