2014 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300 4 MATIC

The 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is listed by the auction with a salvage title designation and “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. The visible extensive front-end damage supports the auction’s front-end classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The hood is severely crushed, with deep creases and folded metal across the center and front sections. Both front fenders are severely deformed, with torn or separated material and exposed inner components. The front bumper cover, center grille, and related fascia pieces are missing. Additional lower front-end plastic components are broken, detached, or lying beneath the vehicle. The left headlamp assembly is separated from the surrounding bodywork. The visible radiator support area is severely buckled and irregularly deformed, with the cooling components exposed. These findings indicate substantial damage to the front body structure and cooling-system support area. Further inspection is required to determine the condition of concealed mechanical, electrical, suspension, and structural components. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag and the lower driver dashboard airbag are visibly deployed. Airbag-system repairs, including inspection of related sensors, control modules, wiring, and seat-belt pretensioners, should be expected. According to the VIN decode, this is a Mercedes-Benz C300 4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a 3.5-liter gasoline six-cylinder engine, and a direct tire-pressure monitoring system. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Germany. The VIN is WDDGF8AB1EA960253.
