2018 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The vehicle is listed with a salvage/rebuildable title, with “REAR END” recorded as the auction’s primary damage classification. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible photos do not support this claim: the rear exterior appears intact, while the visible damage is mainly a minor abrasion to the lower front bumper and worn interior upholstery. The salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. Observed damage includes white scuffing, abrasion, and localized paint loss on the lower front bumper corner. Inside the vehicle, the right rear door’s dark decorative trim has an irregular light-colored surface patch. The beige leather on the front passenger seat is torn and worn through on the outer bolster and adjacent front section of the cushion. The driver’s seat outer bolster also shows abrasion and areas where the leather surface is torn or missing. The documented issues are primarily cosmetic, but the seat upholstery damage is moderate and may require repair or replacement. A physical inspection and review of the title and repair history are recommended, particularly given the salvage/rebuildable designation and the discrepancy between the auction damage classification and the visible findings.
