2018 AUDI A4 Prestige

The 2018 Audi A4 is listed in the auction records as having a “CERT OF TITLE SLVG REBUILDABLE” condition and “SIDE” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reported that the visible photos do not support the stated side-damage claim because no clear side collision damage is visible. Stage 1 also noted that the salvage/rebuildable title status cannot be confirmed from exterior and interior photos. The documented visible issues are minor cosmetic wear to the brown leather interior. The front seat cushions and bolsters show creasing, surface wrinkling, and some discoloration consistent with use. Similar creasing and wrinkling are visible on the rear seat cushion and the front passenger seat. No tears or missing upholstery are visible. The leather steering-wheel rim also shows surface sheen and use-related wear, without visible tears or missing material. According to the VIN decode, this is a Germany-built Audi A4 sedan with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission. The decoded vehicle information identifies the trim as Prestige and lists standard features including adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, parking assistance, and Audi pre sense systems. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: recall 21V874000, concerning the seat-heater cable connection to the Passenger Occupant Detection System. A contact fault may cause the system to misdiagnose a malfunction and disable the passenger air bag. The stated remedy is replacement of the connecting cable and either the heating mat or the complete seat cover, free of charge. Recall completion should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number. No mechanical, structural, or electrical condition can be established from the supplied findings.
