2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “Certificate of Title (P)” and the primary damage as “Minor Dent/Scratches.” Stage 1 reports that the photos do not confirm the certificate-of-title designation and that the visible evidence contradicts a primary-damage description limited to minor dents or scratches. The reported damage includes a visibly crumpled left front fender, a missing section of the left front bumper cover, and a large tear in the driver’s seat cushion. The left front fender has a large irregular crease and crushed area above and behind the wheel opening. Its outer surface is visibly torn or peeled, and the edge next to the headlamp is irregular. The left front bumper has an opening beside the grille, exposing dark inner material, with a small cover or trim piece missing. Inside the cabin, the lower driver’s seat cushion has a substantial longitudinal tear through the light-colored upholstery, exposing the dark underlying material. Additional abrasion or discoloration is visible on the cushion and front bolster. An illuminated check-engine warning indicator is visible in the instrument cluster. The available findings do not identify the underlying fault or confirm a specific mechanical failure, so diagnostic testing should be performed before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 coupe, built in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded equipment data lists left-hand drive, four seats, and standard ABS, stability control, traction control, curtain and side airbags, forward-collision warning, and rear visibility assistance. Some decoded information may vary for non-U.S.-market vehicles.
