2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage vehicle title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is “front end.” Stage 1 reports that the visible damage supports the stated front-end classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be independently confirmed from photographs. The front end has extensive collision damage. The front bumper assembly, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving the front reinforcement, radiator area, wiring, and mounting components exposed. Multiple fascia, grille, wiring, and mounting components are detached or hanging, while additional bumper, grille, trim, support, and headlamp parts have been removed and placed on the ground beside the vehicle. The hood has severe crushing and creasing at the front-left corner, with torn and irregular metal and paint surfaces. The adjacent front fender edge is broken and irregular, with the inner liner and mounting material exposed. The extent of the visible front-end damage means that further inspection of the structure, cooling system, wiring, lighting systems, steering, suspension, and safety systems is required before repair or road use. Inside, the steering-wheel rim shows minor peeling, abrasion, and general surface wear. The front center armrest also has a minor abraded and irregular worn area. 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, automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Vance, Alabama, USA. Decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and side airbags, direct tire-pressure monitoring, rear visibility equipment, forward-collision warning, and blind-spot monitoring; some other safety and driver-assistance features are listed as optional. Verification of the vehicle’s actual equipment and operation is recommended after repairs.
