2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C 4-MATIC

This 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is listed with a salvage/rebuildable certificate of title. The auction identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not support a front-end primary-damage claim: the major visible damage is concentrated on the left-side doors, front fender, and rocker panel, while the front fascia, hood, and headlamps appear largely intact. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from photos alone. The documented visible damage includes severe crushing and deep creasing across the left front door, particularly through the middle and lower sections and along the lower edge. The left rear door has a large irregular dent with multiple creases. The left front fender is wrinkled and deformed behind the wheel opening and next to the front door. The left rocker panel beneath the doors is severely crushed, with irregular folds extending along the lower side of the vehicle. According to the VIN decode, this is a four-door sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a 4-MATIC trim designation. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Vance, Alabama, USA. No known failure-pattern flags or recall information were provided. Due to the substantial damage to the doors and rocker structure, careful inspection of the body structure, door operation, side-impact protection components, suspension, alignment, and related systems is recommended before purchase or repair.
