2019 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is listed with an auction condition of “MV907A-PARTS ONLY” and a primary damage classification of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification through extensive collision damage; however, the “PARTS ONLY” status cannot be confirmed from the photos alone. The front end has sustained severe damage. The hood is extensively crushed and folded, with sharp creases, torn edges, and substantial paint loss. The front bumper assembly, grille, both headlamp assemblies, and several lower front-end panels are missing or detached, exposing the reinforcement, cooling components, wiring, radiator and condenser areas, and other internal parts. The visible cooling module is severely crushed, with extensive fin deformation and damage to surrounding mounts and supports. A front fender is torn and folded around the wheel arch and headlamp area. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, and the driver-side knee airbag has also deployed from beneath the dashboard. The extent of the visible damage indicates that substantial front-end repair and replacement work would be required. A full physical inspection is recommended to assess concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, and restraint-system damage before purchase.
