2017 MERCEDES-BENZ C C450-4M Sport AMG

The vehicle is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class sedan, identified by VIN 55SWF6EB4HU194727. Factory data lists a gasoline 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, left-hand drive, and the C450-4M Sport AMG trim. It was manufactured in the United States. The auction lists the vehicle with a salvage title certificate and identifies the primary damage as front end. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the stated FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-title-certificate status cannot be verified from the available photos. The front end has severe damage. The bumper cover, grille, lower fascia trim, and multiple surrounding plastic components are missing or detached, exposing the front reinforcement, radiator/condenser area, wiring, ducting, and other internal components. The left headlamp assembly is missing, with its mounting structure and wiring exposed. The hood is severely creased and deformed, particularly at the front-left corner and along the left edge, with a large irregular gap above the left front area. The left front fender is crushed, torn, and displaced around the wheel opening and headlamp area. The left front wheel-well liner and adjacent trim are torn, displaced, and hanging below the fender. Detached front-end parts, including the bumper cover, grille sections, wheel-well liners, ducting, wiring, and other plastic components, are visible beside the vehicle. The extent of the exposed front-end structure indicates that a comprehensive inspection will be required to assess possible damage to concealed components, cooling systems, wiring, sensors, mounting points, and the vehicle structure. Mechanical operation and roadworthiness cannot be confirmed from these findings. Inside the vehicle, light scuffing is present on the outer side bolster of the driver’s seat. The instrument cluster displays illuminated airbag and check-engine warning indicators. These warnings require diagnostic testing, and the airbag system should be inspected before the vehicle is operated. Significant repair or replacement work will be required at the front end, including the missing and damaged body panels, lighting, fascia components, wheel-well trim, wiring, and potentially concealed components. A physical inspection and diagnostic evaluation are strongly recommended before purchase.
