2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C C250

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz C is listed with a salvage/rebuildable certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports this primary-damage classification. The salvage/rebuildable title status itself cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The front end has extensive damage. The hood is severely crushed across the front and center sections, with deep creasing, chipped paint, a raised and deformed front edge, and a torn opening. The front bumper cover has multiple cracks, scuffs, creases, and displaced sections, particularly around the vehicle-right corner. The upper grille is missing, leaving the radiator and surrounding components exposed. The vehicle-right front headlamp assembly is also missing, with internal components visible in the open corner. The vehicle-right front fender and wheel-arch area show creasing, deformation, and chipped paint. Radiator-area components and surrounding supports or mounting pieces appear broken or displaced, although their operating condition cannot be determined from the findings. Inside, the driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed, with additional deployed airbag fabric visible below the dashboard. The driver seat cushion and outer bolster are torn, and tears with missing upholstery material are also visible on the outer bolsters of both front seats. The vehicle should be considered a substantial front-end collision repair project requiring a detailed inspection of the structural areas, cooling system, lighting and electrical systems, restraint system, mounting points, and drivability-related components before purchase or repair.
