2017 AUDI A4 PREMIUM

The auction record lists the vehicle as Salvage, with Left Side identified as the primary damage. Stage 1’s assessment states that the visible evidence supports the Left Side primary-damage claim, with substantial damage concentrated around the left front fender, front bumper area, wheel, and left front door. The assessment also states that the visible collision damage is consistent with the stated Salvage condition. The front bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, lower cooling components, and other internal front-end parts. The detached bumper assembly is separated into damaged sections, with cracked or broken plastic, displaced grille pieces, and broken or separated mounting areas. The center grille is displaced and damaged, with an open gap around the grille area. Several lower front fascia and trim components are also missing or displaced, particularly near the left headlamp and the junction between the bumper and fender. The left front fender has severe deformation, including deep creases and crushed areas around and behind the wheel opening. Paint is scraped, and gaps are visible at the front edge. The removed front wheel has a severely torn and shredded tire, while its rim shows extensive scraping along the outer lip and spokes. The installed left front alloy wheel also has visible scraping and gouging on its outer rim and spokes. The left front door has multiple dents, horizontal creases, depressions, and associated paint scuffing, concentrated in the lower and rear portions. The hood has several light scratches and surface marks. Factory VIN data identifies this vehicle as a 2017 Audi A4 sedan manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is listed with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and an indicated output of 252 horsepower. The decoded safety equipment includes front, side, curtain, and knee airbags, as well as indirect tire-pressure monitoring. NHTSA recall 21V874000 applies to certain 2017–2020 Audi A4 Allroad and A4 Sedan vehicles. The recall concerns a possible contact fault in the cable connecting the seat heater to the Passenger Occupant Detection System, which may cause the software to incorrectly diagnose a malfunction and disable the passenger airbag. Audi’s stated remedy is replacement of the connecting cable and either the heating mat or the complete seat cover, free of charge. The repair status for this vehicle should be verified with Audi using the VIN. Given the extensive damage to the front bumper structure, cooling-area components, left front fender, wheel and tire, and left front door, a comprehensive mechanical, structural, suspension, steering, wheel-alignment, airbag, and safety-system inspection is recommended before purchase or road use.
