2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C300d-4M

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive hood, grille, bumper, and front-fascia damage supports this primary-damage code; however, the salvage certificate of title cannot be confirmed from photographs. The hood has severe deformation across the center and front edge, including deep creasing, torn paint, and irregular raised and collapsed areas. The front bumper cover is severely damaged across the front and left corner, with multiple cracks, tears, separated sections, and missing material. The left front corner is open, exposing inner components. The front grille is displaced and broken, with damaged mesh and chrome bars. The central Mercedes-Benz emblem assembly is also displaced. The front fascia is separated near the front corner and bumper-to-fender area, with exposed black plastic and inner components. Additional cracking and broken edges are visible around the lower grille openings and bumper surface. The driver airbag is visibly deployed from the steering-wheel hub. A complete assessment of the restraint system, structural components, sensors, cooling system, lighting, and other hidden damage will require a physical inspection.
