2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible side damage—including the detached exterior mirror and the denting and scuffing on the side panels—supports the “SIDE” classification. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. Observed damage is concentrated on the left side. The left rear quarter panel has a moderate shallow depression with multiple light-colored scrape and paint-transfer marks extending forward from the wheel-arch area. The left exterior mirror is detached from the door, with its mounting components and wiring exposed. A minor irregular dent and localized scuffing are also visible on the left front fender above and behind the wheel opening. The VIN decodes the vehicle as a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 coupe, manufactured in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning, and a rear-visibility system. Physical inspection should verify the mirror mounting and wiring, the condition of the adjacent body structure and wheel-arch areas, and the operation of related electrical and safety systems before purchase.
