2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C 4-MATIC

The auction records list the vehicle as a “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” with “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment partially supports the rear-end classification, as damage to the trunk-lid fit and rear bumper is visible. However, Stage 1 reports that the photographs do not support the claim of more than 75% damage; the visible damage appears limited to the rear area. The rear trunk lid has moderate deformation along its lower edge, including an uneven appearance, an irregularly widened gap above the rear bumper, and misalignment along the chrome-trimmed edge. The center-left section of the rear bumper has a moderate horizontal scrape with localized paint loss and a shallow irregular crease. Minor scuffing and discoloration are also visible on the lower rear bumper. The visible front headlamp lenses have minor clouding, which is primarily cosmetic. No other damage findings were provided. The available findings do not establish the condition of concealed structural components, the trunk opening, lights, sensors, mechanical systems, or safety systems. A physical inspection is recommended, particularly to verify rear body alignment, bumper mounting points, trunk operation and sealing, and any damage behind the visible exterior panels. According to the VIN decoding, 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 in the United States.
