2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title, with the auction’s primary-damage classification recorded as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the unverified front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. Observed damage is concentrated at the front-left corner. The hood has sharp creasing and deformation along its front-left edge, with the edge raised above the adjacent body panel. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area are severely crushed and folded, with multiple creases and exposed underlying components. The front-left headlamp assembly is broken, with missing sections and internal components visible. The front-left bumper corner is torn, crushed, and deformed, and is separated from the surrounding body panels. The windshield has extensive spiderweb cracking, primarily on the driver’s side and extending toward the center and lower portions. The driver’s steering-wheel airbag has deployed, with the cover open and the airbag fabric protruding. The condition of other airbags, restraint-system components, steering, suspension, cooling, lighting, and front-end structural components is not established by these findings and requires a full physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, C300-4M trim, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in the United States. Further inspection and repair-cost assessment are recommended before purchase, including verification of the vehicle structure, wheel and suspension mounting areas, airbag and seat-belt systems, windshield, wiring, and mechanical components.
