2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The auction record lists a salvage certificate of title and identifies vandalism as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible evidence supports the vandalism claim through extensive spray-painted markings and a shattered windshield. The same assessment notes substantial missing exterior lighting and rear bumper components. The salvage-title status itself cannot be verified from exterior photographs. Visible damage includes extensive black spray-painted markings across the hood, visible side doors, and adjacent body panels. The front windshield has multiple circular fracture zones with radiating and branching cracks. Both front headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving open cavities with exposed wiring, mounting points, and internal components. The rear bumper cover is absent, exposing the bumper reinforcement, mounting areas, and lower components. Exterior door-handle components are missing from the visible-side front and rear doors, and one exterior side mirror is absent from its mounting area. Both rear lamp areas also show damage or missing/obscured components, with exposed or dark sections and yellow tape over portions of the assemblies. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 sedan with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Mercedes-Benz Cars in East London, South Africa. The provided findings do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, chassis, airbags, electrical systems, or other mechanical components. A comprehensive physical inspection and verification of the salvage documentation are recommended before purchase.
