2014 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300 4 MATIC

This 2014 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from photographs. The front end has extensive severe collision damage. The hood has large, deep folds and creases across its front and center sections, with both front edges raised and distorted. The front bumper cover is torn and displaced, with broken sections and an open central area exposing components behind it. The front fender and adjacent hood edges are visibly deformed, with irregular gaps around the headlamp and engine-bay opening. The main front grille is missing, leaving the radiator and other front-end components exposed. The visible radiator and condenser cooling fins are compressed, bent, and uneven. Multiple plastic components, brackets, wiring, and mounting pieces around the front engine-bay opening are broken, loose, or detached. A large upper engine-bay plastic panel is also displaced, with a broken edge and separated sections. According to the VIN decode, this is a German-built 2014 Mercedes-Benz C300 4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a 3.5-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The provided findings do not confirm the condition of the engine, drivetrain, suspension, steering, airbags, or other systems. A thorough structural, mechanical, cooling-system, electrical, and safety-system inspection will be required before estimating repairability or roadworthiness.
