2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C 300 SPORT 4MATIC

The vehicle is listed by the auction as **Salvage**, with **Front End** recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible hood, grille, and front bumper damage supports the Front End classification; however, the Salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The observed damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The hood is raised and creased around the center emblem, with an irregular front edge and a pronounced uneven gap at the right-front corner. The gap between the hood, right-front fender, and headlamp is also widened and uneven. The center grille opening and Mercedes emblem assembly are broken or missing, leaving internal components exposed. The surrounding grille trim and adjacent right-side horizontal trim have cracking, chipped material, and displaced edges. Light-colored scuffing and paint abrasions are visible on the lower front bumper, including the lower lip and right side near the grille. The available findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, cooling system, lighting, suspension, steering, safety systems, or other components behind the damaged front panels. A full physical inspection is recommended before purchase and repair valuation. VIN decoding identifies a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, C300-4M trim, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Vance, Alabama, USA.
