2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

The auction record lists this vehicle as salvage, with “Front End” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo review states that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim: the front bumper, both headlamp assemblies, and front grille are missing, with significant hood and front-corner damage also visible. The front bumper cover, grille, and associated fascia trim are absent, exposing the radiator/condenser area, lower front components, wiring, and mounting points. Both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving open cavities at the front corners. The front-center edge of the hood is severely crushed and creased, with torn or sharply folded material around the central mounting opening; the hood emblem is also missing. Both front fender leading edges have broken or missing sections adjacent to the open bumper and headlamp areas. Multiple wires and connectors are exposed and hanging near the lower front corners. Portions of the front wheel-well shielding, lower plastic panels, and fascia mounting hardware are also missing. These areas require thorough inspection for concealed structural, cooling-system, electrical, suspension, and safety-system damage before repair or road use. The findings do not establish the operating condition of the engine, transmission, or other mechanical systems. The steering-wheel leather shows minor surface wear, scuffing, and rubbed areas. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C 300 C-Class coupe, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic nine-speed transmission, left-hand drive, and a four-seat coupe body configuration. The decoded vehicle information lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear visibility system.
