2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The auction record lists a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE and identifies FRONT END as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible broken front grille trim and scuffing support the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. Visible damage includes a broken or missing chrome grille-trim section on the left side of the Mercedes emblem, leaving an irregular dark opening. Multiple dark vertical scuff marks are also present on the light-colored front grille surround above and to the left of the emblem. Minor paint scratches are visible on the right rear quarter panel near the wheel arch and on the right-side lower door/quarter-panel area below the door crease. The VIN identifies the vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe, C300-4M trim, equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine and automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Bremen, Germany. NHTSA decoding lists standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear-visibility system; some additional driver-assistance features are listed as optional.
