2017 AUDI A3

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate with a stated damage level of more than 75%, and identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. The visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification: the front end shows extensive damage, although the photographs cannot verify the stated over-75-percent damage threshold. The hood is severely deformed along its front edge and both front corners, with raised and folded sections. The front bumper cover, grille assembly, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving cooling, mounting, and other internal front-end components exposed. Both the left and right front fender panels are absent, exposing the wheel-well areas and inner front structure. Additional exposed metal mounting areas and internal components are visible at the left front corner. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Audi A3 Cabriolet with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and a stated output of 186 hp. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. The supplied data does not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, airbags, or underlying structural components; these areas require a thorough physical inspection and functional testing. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 21V198000 concerns the passenger occupant detection system, which may deactivate the passenger airbag when the seat is occupied. Recall 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, creating a fire risk. Recall remedy completion should be verified by VIN with Audi before purchase.
