2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a CERT OF SALVAGE designation indicating more than 75% damage, with FRONT END recorded as the primary damage. The photo-based assessment supports the FRONT END classification: extensive front-end components are missing or damaged. However, the more-than-75% damage claim cannot be confirmed or quantified from the available photos alone. The front bumper cover, grille, complete front fascia, and both headlamp assemblies are absent. This leaves the radiator area, mounting components, wiring, connectors, and other front-end parts exposed. Multiple wires and connectors are visibly hanging around the radiator and headlamp areas. The front fender is missing, exposing the wheel, suspension area, and inner body structure. The surrounding front-left body area has irregular and torn panel edges around the missing fender and headlamp opening. The hood is creased and deformed, particularly at the front-left corner, with bent and irregular edges, scraping, and paint abrasion across the front corners. The available findings document substantial visible damage and missing parts at the front of the vehicle. The condition of concealed structural, electrical, cooling, suspension, and mechanical components cannot be established from these findings alone and would require a detailed physical inspection before repair costs or roadworthiness can be assessed.
