2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 sedan is listed by the auction with a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” designation and “FRONT END” as the primary damage. These are auction classifications; the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos. The visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification. The left front bumper cover and lower fascia are severely damaged, with large sections missing or torn away, deep scrapes and cracks, exposed internal components, and an open damaged area below the headlamp. The hood’s front edge is bent and uneven, with deformation at the left-front corner and a pronounced irregular gap above the grille. There is also substantial damage at the right rear. The quarter panel has a large dented and creased area around the fuel-filler opening and above the wheel arch, and the exterior fuel-filler door is missing. The right rear bumper corner shows heavy scraping, white surface transfer, gouging, deformation, and a cracked or torn lower section. The right rear tail lamp is severely broken, with missing lens sections and exposed internal components. The adjacent right rear trunk-lid corner and lamp opening are deformed, with an irregular gap. According to the VIN decode, this is a South African-built, left-hand-drive Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded trim is C300. Drive type and detailed engine model were not provided. A thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including assessment of the front structure, bumper and lamp mounting areas, hood and trunk alignment, quarter-panel and fuel-filler-area damage, cooling and electrical systems, restraint systems, suspension, steering, and any concealed damage.
