2019 AUDI A3 quattro Premium

This 2019 Audi A3 is identified by VIN as a sedan with quattro all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. The vehicle has extensive front-end collision damage, concentrated on the left-front corner. The left front fender is severely crushed and creased around the wheel arch, with exposed gaps near the headlamp and bumper. The front bumper cover has torn and missing sections on both front corners, exposing brackets and components behind the fascia. The grille surround is separated from the surrounding bumper, and the lower front fascia and intake openings have missing or torn trim. The hood is raised, folded, and creased along its left-front edge, with chipped paint and irregular panel gaps. The front edge of the left front door also has a pronounced crease and uneven panel contour. The driver airbag has deployed from the steering wheel, and the left-side curtain airbag has deployed along the roofline and side-window area. The visible damage indicates that repairs will likely involve multiple exterior panels, bumper and grille components, mounting hardware, and inspection or replacement of the affected restraint-system components. The condition of the headlamp, wheel, suspension, cooling system, structural members, sensors, and mechanical components is not established by these findings and should be checked before purchase. The front seat upholstery and center armrest show minor cracking, creasing, and surface wear. The auction lists the primary damage as “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports this auction damage code. The auction condition is listed as “BILL OF SALE/PART ONLY/NO TITL”; Stage 1 states that this title/condition designation cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the photographs. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for the 2019 Audi A3. Campaign 21V198000 concerns possible malfunction of the front passenger occupant-classification system, which could deactivate the passenger airbag when the seat is occupied. Campaign 22V815000 concerns the tire-pressure monitoring system’s ability to detect simultaneous pressure loss from all four tires. Campaign 24V110000 concerns a fuel-tank suction-jet-pump seal that may allow fuel to enter the EVAP system and potentially leak from the charcoal canister. This last recall is described for front-wheel-drive A3 sedans, while this VIN decodes as all-wheel drive, so its applicability should be verified with Audi. Recall completion should be confirmed with an Audi dealer before the vehicle is operated.
