2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C 4-MATIC

The 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is listed by the auction with the condition designation “LIEN PAPERS SALVAGE” and a primary-damage classification of “FRONT END.” These are unverified auction records. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the “FRONT END” primary-damage claim; however, lien status and salvage paperwork cannot be confirmed from the photos. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated across the front end. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, heavily deformed, and detached at multiple points, with internal components visible through the openings. The hood is extensively crushed and sharply deformed across the front and center sections, and the grille assembly and chrome crossbars are bent, displaced, and distorted. The far-side headlamp is broken and displaced, with damaged mounting areas exposed. The near-side front fender is moderately deformed and separated from the adjacent hood and bumper. The near-side exterior door mirror assembly is missing, leaving its mounting and electrical components exposed. Inside the vehicle, the driver airbag in the steering wheel and an additional lower driver-side airbag are visibly deployed. According to the VIN decode, this is a four-door sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a 4MATIC trim designation. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States by Mercedes-Benz Cars. The transmission type was not provided. The visible damage indicates that substantial front-end repair and replacement work will be required, including body panels, bumper and grille components, lighting, the exterior mirror, and the restraint-system components affected by airbag deployment. The condition of the underlying structure, cooling and mechanical systems, electrical wiring, sensors, suspension, and wheel alignment cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be verified through a comprehensive physical inspection before purchase.
