2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C is listed with a Certificate of Salvage and an auction primary-damage designation of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end claim, particularly the severe damage at the front-left corner. Stage 1 also notes that substantial rear bumper damage is visible, while the certificate-of-salvage status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The front-left corner has extensive collision damage. The fender is crushed and folded around the wheel arch, with the wheel-well area open and surrounding trim and components broken or missing. The front-left headlamp assembly and adjacent outer components are broken or absent. The bumper corner is torn away from the body, leaving a large gap and exposing internal components. The grille and adjacent front fascia are broken or missing on the left side, and the lower bumper cover has detached, cracked, or torn sections. The hood is deformed at the front-left edge, with an uneven raised gap above the grille and headlamp area. Several light surface scratches are also visible on the hood. The rear has substantial additional damage. Large sections of the rear bumper fascia are missing or detached across the center and corners. The rear bumper cover is hanging below the vehicle, particularly at the rear-right corner, with the bumper structure, wiring, mounting points, heat-shielded sections, and other internal components exposed. The remaining bumper material is displaced and hanging away from the body. The visible damage indicates that extensive front-end and rear bumper repairs will be required. The condition of concealed structural components, cooling and lighting systems, wiring, suspension, safety systems, and mechanical components cannot be determined from these findings and should be verified through a thorough physical inspection before purchase.
