2015 MERCEDES-BENZ C Base

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a Salvage Certificate, with “Rear End” recorded as the primary damage classification. These are auction designations. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated rear-end primary-damage claim, noting severe deformation and tearing of the rear bumper and trunk lid. The rear bumper cover is extensively crushed, particularly on the right side and across the center, with deep creasing, multiple cracks and tears, and an irregular opening in the right-center section. The left rear bumper corner also has a large torn area with broken edges and exposed components. Sections of the lower bumper trim are missing, leaving mounting components and openings visible. The trunk lid and license-plate recess are heavily creased and deformed, with uneven panel surfaces and displaced trim. The available findings do not establish the condition of any underlying structural, mechanical, electrical, or safety systems, so these areas should be inspected before purchase. There is also a visible tear in the black upholstery on the lower outer bolster of the front driver’s seat. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2015 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a U.S. assembly origin. The decoded information does not specify the transmission.
