2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive damage to the hood, front bumper area, headlamp areas, grille, and front-end components supports the stated FRONT END damage code; the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is identified by the VIN decode as a sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine. The decoded trim is C300-4M, although drivetrain and transmission details were not provided by the decoder. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Vance, Alabama, USA. The front end has extensive collision damage. The hood is severely deformed in the left and center areas, with pronounced upward buckling and sharp creases along the front edge and left-front corner. The front bumper cover, grille, surrounding center fascia, lower front valance, and related trim are missing. Both headlamp assemblies are absent, leaving open cavities and exposing components at both front corners. The front-left fender edge near the headlamp opening is moderately deformed. Multiple plastic and metal mounting components around the radiator support and side mounting areas are broken or detached. Wiring is hanging in the exposed front-end area, and the radiator and other front-end components are visible. A complete repair assessment will require physical inspection of the front structure, radiator support, cooling system, wiring, lighting systems, safety systems, suspension, and mechanical components. Parts availability, hidden structural damage, and the extent of required calibration or electrical repairs should be verified before purchase.
