2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C 4-MATIC

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible broken grille, damaged front bumper, and irregular hood front edge support the “FRONT END” classification. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The front-end damage is severe. The central grille assembly has large open areas, with multiple grille sections and surrounding components broken or missing, leaving internal components exposed. The front bumper cover and lower fascia have multiple cracks and tears, large gaps, and missing sections at both lower front corners. The front edge of the hood is irregular and raised in places, with uneven gaps above the damaged grille and bumper area. The interior also shows moderate upholstery wear. The driver’s seat cushion and outer bolster have multiple torn and worn-through areas, while the front passenger seat cushion has a visible tear or puncture with lighter-colored material exposed. Further inspection and repair-cost assessment are recommended, particularly for the exposed front-end components and the structural condition behind the visible damage.
