2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C is listed in the auction record as “CERT OF TITLE – SALVAGE,” with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage classification. The visible extensive front-end damage supports the auction’s stated FRONT END code. However, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most significant damage is concentrated on the left front of the vehicle. The front bumper cover is severely torn and displaced, with missing sections and exposed components behind it. The left headlamp lens is shattered, with internal components exposed. The left front fender is substantially deformed around the headlamp and wheel opening, and the front edge of the hood is raised and uneven, with an irregular panel gap. The left side of the grille and lower front fascia are also displaced, with broken or missing trim. There is additional moderate damage to the left rear quarter panel above and ahead of the rear wheel. This area has a large dent with creases, abrasions, and lighter-colored exposed marks around the wheel arch. A rectangular access-cover or trim piece is missing from the lower right area of the rear bumper. Inside, the driver’s seat cushion upholstery is extensively torn, exposing the underlying light-colored foam or padding. The outer side bolster is also torn and frayed. Mechanical, structural, electrical, and safety-system condition cannot be determined from the supplied findings and should be verified through a thorough physical inspection and diagnostic assessment.
