2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “front end” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment found that the visible damage supports the stated front-end classification; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be verified from the photos. The visible damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left front fender is severely crushed and deformed around the front edge and wheel arch. The left headlamp assembly is severely broken, with fractured or missing outer sections and exposed internal components. The left front bumper corner is cracked, torn, displaced, and has an irregular opening. The left front hood corner also has a raised, uneven edge and an irregular panel gap next to the damaged headlamp. The supplied VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, trim C300-4M, equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in the United States. The damage assessment is based on the supplied findings only; the condition of components not visible in these findings, including potential damage behind the front-end panels, should be confirmed through a physical inspection.
