2024 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reported that the visible severe front-end damage supports the stated front-end claim, while noting that the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front-left fender is heavily crushed and folded around the wheel opening, with components exposed behind it. The hood has severe folding and creasing across its front-left section and is raised above the surrounding body panels. The front bumper and lower fascia are torn and displaced, including a detached section hanging below the vehicle, with internal front-end components visible through the gaps. The grille and surrounding fascia are broken and displaced, particularly in the lower-left area. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing from its normal position, leaving the internal components and lamp opening exposed. Airbags are visibly deployed in the driver and front-passenger areas, including the steering wheel, passenger-side dashboard, and lower driver-side area. The vehicle should therefore undergo a complete structural, mechanical, electrical, and restraint-system inspection before purchase or repair estimates are finalized. The VIN decodes as a 2024 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 sedan with a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission, and a stated output of 255 hp. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in East London, South Africa.
