2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate indicating “more than 75% damage,” with the auction’s primary damage recorded as front end. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification, but the photographs alone cannot confirm the salvage-title statement that damage exceeds 75%. The front end has extensive collision damage. The front bumper cover, grille, surrounding fascia, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving the front reinforcement, radiator/cooling components, wiring, and other internal areas exposed. Lower front plastic panels are detached and broken. The front edge of the hood is deformed, with chipped and abraded paint and tape covering the damaged area. One visible front corner also has missing bumper and lamp-area fascia. The front-end condition indicates that replacement parts and further inspection will be required. The available findings do not establish the condition of the exposed cooling system, wiring, structural components, or other mechanical and electrical systems. Inside the vehicle, the outer lower bolster of the front driver’s seat has a substantial tear, with separated upholstery material and the lighter-colored substrate exposed.
