2014 MERCEDES-BENZ C C250

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C250 is recorded by NHTSA as a two-door coupe with a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Bremen, Germany. The VIN is WDDGJ4HB0EG287983. The auction record lists a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible large deformation and missing fuel-filler door on the left rear side support the auction’s SIDE damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The most significant visible damage is concentrated on the left rear quarter panel around the wheel arch and fuel-filler opening. The panel is severely creased and crushed, with areas of scraped or missing paint. The fuel-filler door is missing, leaving the recess exposed. Inside the vehicle, the black upholstery on the outer bolster of the front driver’s seat has a moderate tear, with light-colored underlying material visible. The extent of the left rear body damage and the condition of any related components should be assessed during a physical inspection before purchase.
