2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300

The auction record identifies this vehicle as having a salvage certificate, with “FRONT END” listed as the primary damage. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports the front-end damage claim: the front bumper, grille, and at least one headlamp assembly are missing. Stage 1 also notes substantial rear-end and rear-quarter damage. The front bumper cover and outer fascia are absent, exposing the front reinforcement, cooling components, and mounting structures. The center grille is missing, leaving an open area in front of the radiator, and one front headlamp assembly is absent with its mounting area exposed. Additional lower front fascia components are missing. The leading edge of the hood has an uneven, raised contour, indicating deformation. At the rear, the bumper cover and related outer components are missing, exposing the rear reinforcement, mounting brackets, and lower components. The rear quarter panel beside the tail lamp has severe creasing and deformation, with damaged panel edges and exposed mounting areas. The outer rear-corner trim and bumper-side components are also absent. The rocker-panel molding is missing along the lower side sill. According to the VIN decoding data, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C300 convertible/cabriolet, manufactured in Germany. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline M274 engine and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The decoded vehicle has two doors and four seats. Mechanical, structural, restraint-system, cooling-system, and electrical operation should be physically inspected; the visible findings alone do not establish the condition of these systems or the extent of any damage behind the exposed areas.
