2014 MERCEDES-BENZ C C250

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage designation is “undercarriage.” Stage 1 reports that undercarriage damage requires a physical inspection and cannot be confirmed or ruled out from the available photos; the visible damage is concentrated at the front end and does not independently verify the undercarriage designation. The visible damage is extensive and concentrated across the entire front end. The hood is severely creased and deformed, with lifted and uneven edges on both front corners. The front bumper cover and grille-area fascia are missing, exposing internal components. Both front corners show displaced and broken parts, including damage to the leading edges of both front fenders. The visible right headlamp lens and mounting area are cracked and displaced, while the opposite headlamp area is missing its outer assembly and exposes internal components. The front metal reinforcement and lower support are visibly bowed and deformed. Radiator- and condenser-area components and their mounting parts are exposed, with surrounding plastic supports and covers broken or displaced. The right front wheel-well liner is torn, hanging, and displaced. The extent of the visible front-end damage warrants a thorough inspection of the frame, suspension, steering, cooling system, wiring, and other components before repair or operation. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, with additional deployed fabric visible below the driver-side dashboard. A right-side curtain airbag is also deployed along the roofline and side-window area. The restraint system, associated sensors, and interior trim will require inspection and likely replacement as applicable. Minor cosmetic issues include light vertical scuffing on the rear bumper cover and peeling or surface wear on the steering-wheel rim.
