2016 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

This 2016 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 is listed with a salvage vehicle title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the auction’s unverified front-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front end has extensive damage. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, cooling components, radiator and condenser area, wiring, and mounting structures. The left front headlamp assembly is also missing, with its mounting area and wiring exposed. The left front fender is severely crushed and torn around the wheel opening and front corner. The hood has a raised, irregular left-front edge with an uneven gap above the fender and headlamp area. Front support and bumper-mounting structures at the left front corner are visibly bent, displaced, and partially separated. The left front wheel-arch liner and surrounding trim are missing, exposing the inner wheel-well area. The left exterior side mirror is detached and lying on the ground with electrical wiring and connectors attached. Additional cosmetic damage includes light horizontal scuffs on the left front and rear doors, paint chips and abrasions across the hood, and a tear in the outer/front portion of the left front seat cushion with lighter-colored material visible. According to the VIN decoding, this is a four-door Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, C300 trim, equipped with all-wheel drive, a 2.1-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and direct tire-pressure monitoring. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in South Africa. The available findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, electrical systems, suspension, steering, airbags, or underlying structural components. A thorough physical inspection and complete repair estimate are recommended before purchase.
