2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe, listed with a salvage title and an auction primary-damage classification of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification because the front bumper cover and grille are missing, leaving front-end components exposed. The front bumper cover and grille assembly are absent. The front reinforcement, radiator components, wiring, and lower front assemblies are visible. Front-corner trim and liner components are also missing, with brackets and wiring exposed. The hood’s front edge has visible deformation and an uneven gap near one corner. Electrical wiring and connectors are exposed and hanging below the front-left corner. Inside, the front seat cushion upholstery has a long tear, exposing light-colored underlying material. No additional known failure-pattern concerns were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is a Germany-built Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe with a 2.0-litre M274 gasoline four-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and the C300-4M trim designation. Factory equipment data lists front, side, and curtain airbag systems, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and a rear-visibility system. The visible front-end damage and exposed wiring should be fully inspected and repaired, including checks of the cooling system, structural components, lighting, sensors, wiring, restraint systems, and alignment before the vehicle is considered roadworthy.
