2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C 4-MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a salvage vehicle title, with “front end” recorded as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports this classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has severe damage across the hood, bumper, grille, lower grille, trim, and fender area. The hood is extensively crushed and sharply creased, with scraped paint, raised sections, and an irregular opening. The front bumper cover is torn, heavily scuffed, displaced, and missing large sections. The grille and lower grille assemblies are cracked, broken, and displaced, with exposed components behind them. A front headlamp is detached from its installed position, and another headlamp assembly is shown separated from the vehicle on the ground. The visible front fender is torn and deformed, while a large painted body-panel section is also detached and lying on the ground. Radiator-area components, brackets, wiring, and other front-end parts are exposed; multiple plastic and metal components appear broken or displaced. The condition of concealed structural, cooling, lighting, electrical, and mechanical components cannot be determined from these findings and requires a thorough physical inspection. The driver and front passenger airbags are visibly deployed. The lower cushion of the front driver’s seat has a substantial tear and abrasion, exposing lighter underlying material. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and the 4MATIC trim designation. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Vance, Alabama, United States. The transmission details were not provided. A comprehensive post-repair inspection should include the restraint system, front-end alignment and structure, cooling system, wiring, lighting, air-conditioning components, and all safety-system functions.
