2013 MERCEDES-BENZ C C250

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a **salvage vehicle title** and a primary-damage code of **“MINOR DENT/SCRATCHES.”** However, the visible damage findings are more extensive than that code suggests. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence contradicts the “MINOR DENT/SCRATCHES” classification: the rear windshield is missing, the surrounding trim is damaged, the exterior mirror is detached, and broken glass is present inside. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The rear windshield glass is absent, leaving the rear window opening exposed. The surrounding roof and window-perimeter trim and seals are lifted, broken, and irregular, with glass fragments along the edges. Additional broken glass fragments are visible on the rear seat and adjacent interior area. The exterior mirror on the front door is detached from its normal mounting position and hanging beside the door. Minor cosmetic damage includes horizontal scuffs and dark transfer marks on the rear bumper, light scuffing on the front bumper, scratches and abrasion marks on the front and rear door panels, and light scratches around the rear quarter panel and trunk area. The instrument cluster shows ABS, traction-control, and check-engine warning indicators illuminated. The photographs do not establish the cause of these warnings or confirm a mechanical or electrical failure; the vehicle should receive a complete diagnostic inspection before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2013 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C250 sedan, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Germany. The decoded specifications include a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and direct tire-pressure monitoring. Some transmission and drivetrain information was not available in the decoding data. Due to the missing rear glass, interior glass debris, detached mirror, warning indicators, and salvage-title listing, a thorough structural, mechanical, electrical, safety-system, and water-intrusion inspection is recommended.
