2017 MERCEDES-BENZ SLC 300 SLC300

The auction lists the primary damage as “Front End.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, with severe damage to the hood, bumper, grille, headlamp, and front-left fender area. The hood has multiple deep creases and buckled sections across the leading edge and left-front area, with the front edge raised above the surrounding panels. The front bumper cover is displaced forward and downward, torn in several places, heavily scraped, and separated from the front corners. The center and lower grille assemblies are broken, cracked, displaced, and partially detached. The front-left headlamp has a cracked and displaced lens and internal components, with gaps around its housing. The front-left fender and wheel-arch area are torn and deformed, exposing inner components. Several sections of the front fascia are missing or displaced, exposing the radiator area, mounting components, wiring, and washer-fluid reservoir. The bumper and grille assembly is hanging away from the vehicle, with broken mounting points and large gaps between the bumper, hood, and headlamp areas. Minor cosmetic damage includes light horizontal scuffs and scratches on the left door and lower rocker area. The instrument display shows a “Charge battery” message. This indicates a 12-volt battery or charging-system warning, but the available finding does not establish the underlying cause or confirm a specific component failure. The battery and charging system should be tested. According to the VIN decoding, this is a 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class SLC 300 convertible with rear-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in Bremen, Germany. Structural components, cooling-system parts, wiring, lighting systems, driver-assistance equipment, and mechanical systems should be professionally inspected before purchase, as their condition cannot be fully determined from the listed exterior findings.
