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 four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The VIN decode identifies South Africa as the manufacturing country. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title with “REAR END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this damage code: the trunk lid is deformed, and lower rear bumper components are missing or detached. The trunk lid has moderate irregular deformation and creasing around the license plate recess and along the lower edge. The central lower rear bumper trim or valance is missing, exposing black components behind it. A long black component is also detached and hanging beneath the center of the rear bumper. In addition, light surface scuffing is visible on the left rear bumper corner below and forward of the left tail lamp. The rear structure, bumper mounting points, exhaust-area components, parking sensors, lighting, trunk operation, and related mechanical or electrical systems should be physically inspected before purchase. Repairs will likely require replacement or refitting of the damaged rear components and proper assessment of any concealed impact damage.
