2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the stated front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front bumper is severely damaged across its width. The cover is cracked, torn, displaced, and partially missing, with detached sections, loose material, exposed internal components, and hanging lower trim visible. Wiring and other front-end components are exposed near the left front corner, including a loose cable below the bumper. The left front headlamp assembly is broken and displaced, with damaged surrounding mounting areas and exposed internal parts. The grille is broken and separated from adjacent trim, with displaced sections and an open center emblem area. The leading edge of the left front fender is distorted and separated from the surrounding front-end components. The hood has a moderate deformation and crease around the front emblem and leading edge, along with minor scuffing and paint-surface damage in the same area. The visible damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The extent of damage to structural components, cooling systems, sensors, wiring, suspension, and mechanical systems cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be verified through a physical inspection. A visible warning indicates “Parking Support Brake Malfunction” and instructs the driver to visit a dealer. This suggests that the parking-support brake system requires diagnostic testing and may need repair; the exact cause is not established by the available information. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe, trim C300-4M, built in Bremen, Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline four-cylinder engine, rated at 241 horsepower, and an automatic transmission. The decoded vehicle information lists features including standard blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, rear visibility, dynamic brake support, and optional parking assist, although the operation and condition of these systems should not be assumed after the front-end impact.
