2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle with a Salvage Certificate of Title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification through the extensive missing and detached front-end components and the visible hood deformation. Stage 1 also notes that the Salvage Certificate of Title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover, grille, center fascia, lower front trim, and both headlamp assemblies are missing from their installed positions. This leaves the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, wiring, cooling components, and inner front structures exposed. The detached bumper cover and both headlamp assemblies are visible separately on the ground in front of the vehicle; the bumper cover has surface scrape marks on its lower and side areas. The hood has moderate deformation along the front edge and both front corners, including visible creasing, folded areas, and a pronounced crease near the right-front corner. The exposed radiator and associated cooling components should be inspected for impact-related damage, along with the radiator support, wiring, lighting connections, and other components behind the missing fascia. The provided findings do not establish the condition of these components or the vehicle’s mechanical, electrical, or safety systems. Minor cosmetic scuffing is present on the rear bumper cover, including the left rear corner, lower bumper, and lower center areas. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, trim C300-4M, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in the United States. A complete repair assessment should include physical inspection, diagnostic testing, verification of the removed components, and confirmation of the title and vehicle history.
