2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

This 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is listed with a Certificate of Salvage, and the auction’s primary damage classification is “SIDE.” Visible damage is concentrated on the left side and supports the SIDE classification; however, a certificate of salvage cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The left front door has severe deformation, with sharp creasing across the outer panel and distortion around the window frame and surrounding structure. The left rear door has a large irregular dent with multiple creases. The left front fender is severely crushed around the wheel opening and rear edge. The left exterior mirror housing is damaged, with parts of the cover missing and internal components exposed. The left front window glass is absent or shattered. Additional visible damage affects the left rocker panel and side-sill area, which show dents, creases, and irregular deformation beneath the doors. These findings may indicate impact involvement in the lower side structure, but the extent of any underlying structural or mechanical damage requires physical inspection. The left-side occupant-restraint system has deployed. Visible findings include front and rear side airbags and a side-curtain airbag along the roof-side area. The instrument cluster displays airbag, seat-belt, and stability-control warning indicators. Repairs may therefore require replacement or servicing of airbags, pretensioners, sensors, related wiring, and other restraint-system components, subject to diagnostic testing. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan equipped with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and the M274 engine. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in the United States. The decode identifies the trim as C300-4M, although the drivetrain field is not separately populated in the provided data. A complete inspection should verify the drivetrain, body alignment, suspension, steering, wheel and tire condition, door and window operation, electrical systems, airbag system, and any concealed damage before purchase.
