2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” condition and identifies “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the auction’s FRONT END classification; however, the certificate-of-title status cannot be verified from the photos. The front hood has severe deformation, including pronounced creasing, a raised uneven edge, and a large irregular gap above the grille and headlights. The headlamp assembly on the left side as viewed from the front is missing, leaving an open cavity with internal mounting components exposed. The front bumper and corner are severely damaged. The bumper cover is cracked, torn, and partially absent, with internal components visible. The remaining surface has extensive white scuffing and scraped paint. The adjacent front fender has moderate creasing, irregular contours, exposed gaps, and chipped paint around the headlamp opening. Additional scrape marks and chipped paint are visible across the front fascia and upper bumper area. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, C300-4M trim, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in the United States. Factory-listed equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, and a rear visibility system; some driver-assistance features are listed as optional. The inspection findings address visible exterior damage only and do not confirm the condition of the underlying structure, mechanical components, lighting systems, safety systems, or title documentation.
