2019 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is a 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300-4M sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine, and a 7-speed automatic transmission. VIN decoding identifies it as manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in the United States. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “front end” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification, with substantial deformation and broken or missing components across the hood and front fascia. The hood is severely crumpled across most of its width, with deep creases, raised and folded sections, and a large open gap above the front fascia. The front bumper cover is torn and separated at both corners, while lower bumper and fascia trim is broken or missing. A detached plastic section is hanging below the front corner. The grille has broken and separated sections around the center emblem and outer edges, leaving visible gaps and exposed areas. Both headlamp assemblies appear displaced within the damaged fascia. The headlamp on the image-right side has broken or missing surrounding trim and an irregular housing edge. The upper front fascia is open and separated, exposing the radiator area, front ducting, wiring, and other internal components. The visible findings do not establish the condition of those exposed components or the vehicle’s mechanical and electrical systems. Both front and rear doors show moderate dents, sharp creases, long scratches, and lower-edge scuffing. The visible-side rocker trim is also scuffed, scratched, and partially separated or damaged. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, indicating that the restraint system requires inspection and likely repair or replacement of affected components. A thorough structural, cooling-system, lighting, airbag, wiring, mechanical, and diagnostic inspection is recommended before assessing repair feasibility or roadworthiness.
