2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, identified by the VIN decoder as a C300-4M with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, automatic nine-speed transmission, and four-cylinder configuration. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. The auction records list a salvage certificate of title and identify the primary damage as front end. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this auction damage classification, with damage present at the front-left headlamp, fender, bumper corner, and hood edge. The front-left headlamp assembly has a broken outer lens with internal components exposed. The surrounding fender is creased and deformed, and the front-left bumper corner is torn and displaced, exposing dark inner components. The front-left edge of the hood is also irregular and deformed, with an enlarged gap beside the damaged headlamp. At the left rear, the tail lamp has broken or missing lens sections and exposed internal elements. Light-colored linear scuff marks are visible on the left rear quarter panel and adjacent bumper area. Inside the vehicle, the lower cushion of the front driver’s seat has a moderate tear with separated upholstery and lighter-colored material exposed. The steering-wheel rim shows surface wear and shiny areas along the grip. The reported damage should be fully assessed during a physical inspection, including the condition of the lighting, front-end structure, mounting points, wiring, safety systems, and mechanical components before purchase or repair decisions are made.
