2018 AUDI A4 quattro Progressiv

The vehicle is listed with a PERMIT SALVAGE condition and FRONT END as the auction’s primary-damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END classification; however, the PERMIT SALVAGE condition cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The provided findings show severe collision damage concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The hood has a large depressed and heavily creased area, particularly on the left side and near the leading edge, along with scratches and scuff marks. The front bumper cover, main grille, and front lighting assemblies are missing or broken. The Audi emblem and lower grille pieces are detached and visible below the exposed front components. The front-left corner and fender area are severely crushed and deformed, with torn panel edges and displaced components around the lamp, wheel-arch, and bumper mounting areas. Lower front fascia panels and trim are broken, displaced, and hanging below the vehicle. Cooling components, brackets, wiring, and other plastic parts are exposed in the open front end. The findings do not establish the condition of hidden structural, mechanical, electrical, or safety-system components, so a thorough physical inspection will be required. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 Audi A4 sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified by VIN WAUBNAF44JA183552. NHTSA lists recall 21V874000 for this vehicle’s model and year. The recall concerns a possible contact fault in the cable connecting the seat heater to the Passenger Occupant Detection System, which may cause the passenger airbag to be disabled. The remedy involves replacement of the connecting cable and either the heating mat or the entire seat cover, free of charge through an Audi dealer. Recall completion should be verified before purchase.
