2017 AUDI A4 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is a 2017 Audi A4 sedan with an auction designation of CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE and a stated primary damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, with extensive damage observed to the hood, front-left fender, bumper, grille, headlamp, and exposed front-end components. The hood has severe crushing, deep creasing, and multiple pronounced deformations across the front and center sections. The front-left fender is heavily crushed and creased around the headlamp and wheel-arch area, with irregular panel edges. The front bumper cover is severely deformed and cracked at the left corner, with broken, separated, or displaced sections. The grille has broken and displaced areas with visible gaps and irregular alignment. The front-left headlamp is severely damaged, with a broken lens or housing, exposed internal components, and visible displacement. Behind the grille, the radiator and support area is exposed, showing radiator/condenser surfaces, broken plastic pieces, open gaps, and loose or displaced components. Airbags are visibly deployed from the driver’s steering wheel and the lower dashboard area. The extent of the visible damage indicates that substantial structural, restraint-system, cooling-system, lighting, and body-panel inspection will be required before repair or road use. Mechanical and hidden damage cannot be determined from these findings. According to the VIN decode, this is a Germany-built Audi A4 sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a decoded manual transmission. The listed trim is quattro Premium Plus. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model and year: recall 21V874000 concerns the cable connecting the seat heater to the Passenger Occupant Detection System. A contact fault may cause the system to misdiagnose a malfunction and disable the passenger airbag. The stated remedy is replacement of the connecting cable and either the heating mat or the complete seat cover, free of charge. Recall repair completion should be verified with Audi before purchase.
