2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C 4-MATIC

The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-left-corner damage supports the unverified “FRONT END” claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front-left headlamp assembly is severely damaged. Its lens and housing are broken, with internal components exposed and part of the outer lens missing. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area have severe deformation and sharp creasing around the headlamp opening and above the wheel arch. The front-left bumper corner is moderately damaged, with visible separation and irregular edges adjacent to the headlamp. The front-left edge of the hood is also moderately deformed, with an uneven contour next to the damaged fender and headlamp. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan with 4MATIC all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a U.S. assembly plant in Vance, Alabama. A thorough inspection should include the front-end structure, lighting and wiring, cooling components, wheel-arch area, steering and suspension, safety systems, and alignment before purchase.
