2021 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-end collision damage supports this unverified auction claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from the photographs. The trunk lid has severe buckling, deep creasing, substantial crushing, and significantly uneven gaps around the body. Its lower edge is uneven, with a large open gap above the rear bumper. The rear bumper cover is also severely distorted across its width, with a crushed center section, a pronounced irregular lower edge, and damaged or missing areas at the lower corner. A lower bumper-trim section is missing, exposing internal mounting and bumper components, while the lower right rear bumper has a broken, open section with exposed internal material and a fractured edge. The documented damage is concentrated at the rear of the vehicle. The extent of the visible deformation indicates that the trunk lid, rear bumper assembly, and related mounting or underlying components require thorough inspection and repair assessment. Recall status was not checked.
