2013 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end collision damage supports the stated unverified FRONT END damage code. The salvage-title designation itself cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the photographs. The vehicle has severe damage concentrated at the left front corner. The front bumper, grille, adjacent trim, and fascia are cracked, displaced, or missing, exposing components behind them. The left front headlamp assembly is broken or absent, with damaged mounting areas and exposed internal components. The left front fender is extensively creased and deformed around the wheel opening and rear edge, while the hood is buckled and raised on the left side, with multiple creases and areas of missing paint. Visible deformation extends into the front support and radiator-support area, where metal components appear bent and displaced. The left front door also has moderate creasing and deformation, particularly toward the front and lower sections. Inside the vehicle, the driver steering-wheel airbag and lower driver knee airbag are deployed. The driver seat cushion has a large tear with the underlying material exposed. The visible damage indicates a substantial front-end collision. A complete repair assessment should include inspection of the structure, cooling system, suspension and steering components, wiring, airbag and restraint systems, and vehicle alignment.
