2022 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

This 2022 Mercedes-Benz C is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage to the left front door and adjacent left-side area supports the SIDE primary-damage claim. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The left front door is extensively crushed and torn open, with substantial deformation of the outer panel and exposed internal components. The left exterior mirror is displaced, with exposed mounting points and damage to surrounding components. The left front fender is creased and deformed around the wheel opening and door edge. Additional front-left damage is visible. The hood is significantly deformed on its left side, with an uneven raised gap above the left headlamp and fender. The left headlamp area contains broken and displaced components, and the lamp assembly is not seated normally. The left corner of the front bumper has scraping, cracking, and deformation. Multiple airbags are visibly deployed inside the passenger compartment, including the side and curtain airbags along the left-side window areas and behind the front seats. Airbag-system components and related interior trim will require inspection and likely replacement. A thorough structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-system inspection is recommended before purchase, particularly around the left-side impact area, front-left body structure, door, lighting, and restraint systems.
