2012 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300 4-MATIC

The auction records list a salvage title designation (“CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE”) and identify the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-end damage supports the stated REAR END claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear bumper cover is completely missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement beam and internal components. The left rear tail lamp assembly is also absent, leaving an open lamp cavity. The trunk lid and rear license-plate recess show substantial creasing and deformation. Severe dents and creases extend across the left rear quarter panel toward the wheel arch, and the panel edge above the missing bumper is irregular. The right rear corner has an open, deformed area where bumper- and lamp-related components are missing. Lower rear bumper trim and associated plastic parts are absent, with mounting points and underbody components exposed. Exhaust-related components are visible below the missing rear bumper assembly, along with a section of heat shield that appears detached. The vehicle also has a visible elongated tear or split in the covering of the front driver-seat lower cushion. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 4MATIC sedan with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and German manufacture. A physical inspection is recommended to assess structural alignment, rear body and bumper mounting points, lighting and wiring, exhaust and heat-shield condition, underbody components, and overall roadworthiness before purchase or repair.
