2020 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

This 2020 Mercedes-Benz C is listed by the auction with a salvage certificate of title and a primary-damage classification of “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-end damage supports the stated primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The rear bumper cover is severely crushed, torn, and deformed across the rear, particularly on the right side. Sections of the bumper cover are missing, leaving openings and underlying components exposed, with a cable hanging from the damaged area. The rear body panel below the trunk lid has pronounced buckling, creasing, and irregular deformation across the center and right side. The trunk lid is deformed and creased along its lower edge and center-right area. The right rear quarter panel and corner are extensively crushed and heavily creased around the taillight and bumper junction. Torn exterior material and exposed areas are visible around the bumper and quarter panel. The extent of the visible damage indicates that substantial repair and replacement work will be required, with further inspection needed to assess components not visible in the provided findings.
