2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s stated primary damage is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end primary-damage claim; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The front end has extensive severe collision damage. The hood is deeply crushed and heavily creased, with torn edges and deformation extending across both front corners. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and separated from the corners, while the lower grille and bumper sections are incomplete and have multiple open gaps. The center grille, grille supports, and surrounding trim are broken or missing, exposing the radiator and other internal front-end components. The front-left fender is crushed and torn around the leading edge and wheel arch. The front-left headlamp is shattered, with its lens and internal components partially missing. The visible radiator and condenser fins are extensively bent and crushed. A long exterior or underbody panel is detached and lying in front of the vehicle. The windshield has a large spiderweb pattern of cracks in the upper-left and central areas. Airbags are visibly deployed from the steering wheel and beneath the dashboard. Additional damage to concealed structural, cooling, electrical, suspension, steering, and safety-system components cannot be determined from the provided findings and should be assessed through a thorough physical inspection before purchase. Repairs are likely to require extensive replacement of front-end body, lighting, cooling, trim, windshield, and restraint-system components. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Mercedes-Benz C-Class convertible/cabriolet, C300-4M trim, equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in Bremen, Germany.
