2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C C250

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage vehicle title with FRONT END listed as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo review states that the visible extensive damage to the front hood, left headlamp, left fender, grille, and bumper supports the stated front-end damage claim. The most significant damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The hood has severe creasing and folded deformation, with a large uneven gap above the left headlamp. The left headlamp assembly has a broken or missing outer lens, exposed internal components, and damage to the surrounding housing. The left front fender is severely creased around the headlamp and wheel-arch area. The left side of the front bumper cover has extensive cracking, tearing, scraping, and an irregular opening, while the lower left bumper has additional cracking, scraped paint, and an uneven edge. The left grille and adjacent chrome trim are broken and displaced. The right front headlamp lens appears cloudy and discolored. Inside the cabin, the driver’s seat cushion has extensive torn and peeled upholstery, and the outer bolster of the front passenger seat shows moderate peeling and wear. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C250 coupe, manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Bremen, Germany. It is listed with a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and front and side airbag locations for the first and second rows, with seat-belt pretensioners and load limiters. The decoded data does not specify the drivetrain or transmission. The visible findings indicate substantial front-end collision damage and interior upholstery wear. A complete repair assessment should include inspection of the front structure, headlamp and bumper mounting points, cooling and steering components, suspension, wheel alignment, safety systems, wiring, and mechanical operation before purchase.
