2019 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The auction record lists a salvage title and identifies the primary damage as SIDE. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports the stated side-damage claim, with extensive damage visible along the left side and deployed side-curtain airbags. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The 2019 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is decoded as a C300 sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a seven-speed automatic transmission. The VIN data identifies the vehicle as manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in the United States. Visible damage is concentrated on the left side. The left front door is severely crushed, with extensive sharp creasing, torn-looking metal folds, and broad deformation. The left rear door also has deep creases and irregular deformation extending from the window area to the lower edge. The rocker panel or lower side sill beneath the doors is visibly crushed, with folded metal and displaced trim. The left rear quarter panel is dented and sharply creased around the fuel-filler area and above the rear wheel opening, and the fuel-filler door is missing. Multiple curtain airbags are deployed across the roofline and upper left side of the passenger compartment. An additional side airbag is hanging beside the rear seat. Green-tinted glass fragments are visible along the lower instrument-cluster area. There is also a missing and broken section of the lower front bumper at the left corner, leaving an irregular opening in the surrounding plastic. The documented damage indicates a severe side-impact event with significant body deformation and restraint-system deployment. Structural components, door and rocker-panel assemblies, the fuel system area, glass, airbag modules, seat-belt pretensioners, wiring, sensors, and related safety systems should be thoroughly inspected before any repair or purchase decision.
