2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is listed with an auction primary-damage code of “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with extensive damage present on the left-side doors, lower side area, and side mirror. The auction condition is listed as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE,” although Stage 1 notes that this condition cannot be confirmed from the photos. The left exterior side mirror assembly is missing, leaving the mounting area and internal components exposed. Both left-side doors have severe damage: the left front door has multiple deep dents and creases with extensive dark scraping and paint transfer, while the left rear door has pronounced dents and creasing near the front and lower sections, along with similar scrape and transfer marks. Long abrasions extend along the lower edges of both doors and the adjacent rocker and side-molding areas. Light linear scuffing is also visible on the left rear quarter panel near the rear door and wheel arch. A broad, shallow dent with an uneven contour is visible on the left-central portion of the hood. The reported findings are based on visible exterior damage; the condition of concealed components, door operation, mirror wiring, structural areas, and mechanical systems has not been established. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a U.S.-built 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, C300-4M trim, equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded drivetrain information is not specified.
