2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 C300

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz C 300 is decoded as a C-Class Convertible/Cabriolet, equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine (M274), a nine-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive information not specified in the supplied VIN data. The vehicle was manufactured in Bremen, Germany. The auction lists the primary damage as Front End. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, and the detached bumper cover shows visible abrasion damage. The front bumper area is severely incomplete. The bumper cover is absent, exposing the front reinforcement bar, cooling components, and internal front-end structures. Both left and right headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving open cavities, and the front grille and associated fascia are also absent. The removed white bumper cover has extensive dark scraping and abrasion along its lower left and right sections. These findings indicate that substantial replacement and inspection of the front-end components will be required. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of components behind the visible damage, including mounting points, cooling-system parts, wiring, sensors, or structural elements. Additional cosmetic damage consists of light dark scuffing and dirt-like abrasion on the lower driver-side rocker panel and lower door area, with several linear marks extending along the rocker panel near both the front and rear portions of the driver-side door. The supplied NHTSA records include multiple recalls associated with 2018 C-Class and C 300 vehicles. They cover areas including front seatback locking, air-bag and passenger-occupant classification systems, front seat-belt retraction, emergency-call communication software, headlamp adjustment or replacement, steering components, battery mounting and battery-cable protection, roof-panel bonding on vehicles with the applicable panoramic sunroof, rear beltline trim, and rear-window bonding. Campaigns listed include 18V207000, 17V627000, 21V032000, 21V058000, 21V072000, 22V365000, 21V509000, 18V838000, 18V850000, 18V906000, 19V130000, 21V197000, 23V854000, 19V586000, 18V456000, 18V608000, and 18V725000. Recall applicability and completion should be confirmed by VIN with Mercedes-Benz or NHTSA before purchase, particularly after the front-end repairs.
