2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C listed with a salvage vehicle title and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified front-end damage claim, based on the missing front bumper cover and grille, absent front left headlamp, and deformation at the hood and front fender. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos alone. The front bumper cover is missing from the vehicle, exposing the front reinforcement bar, cooling components, wiring, and mounting areas. The front grille is also absent, leaving the radiator area and surrounding support components exposed. The front left headlamp assembly is missing, with its mounting area and internal components visible. The front left edge of the hood is raised and irregular, and the front left fender is deformed around the headlamp and bumper interfaces. The detached front bumper cover has broken and deformed plastic sections along the grille opening and mounting edges. These areas will require detailed inspection for concealed damage to structural supports, cooling components, wiring, lighting systems, and mounting points before repair. Light horizontal scuffing and surface scratches are also present across the rear bumper cover.
