2018 AUDI A4

The vehicle is identified as a 2018 Audi A4 sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate, with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated primary-damage classification. However, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is heavily buckled along its front edge and right-front area, with an uneven raised gap above the grille and deformation near the right-front corner. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and separated at multiple points, including both lower corners and the right-front corner. The right-front corner is displaced outward, while the front-left corner and lower fascia have broken or missing sections. Internal components and detached plastic pieces are exposed, and portions of the lower bumper trim are missing. Additional broken and displaced plastic components are visible at the front edge of the engine compartment, particularly on the right side. The instrument cluster displays the warning: “Turn off engine and check coolant level. See owner’s manual.” This indicates a coolant-system concern, although the underlying condition cannot be determined from the available photographs. The cooling system and any related engine-compartment damage should be inspected before purchase or operation. An official NHTSA recall, campaign 21V874000, applies to certain 2017–2020 Audi A4 Sedan vehicles. The recall concerns a contact fault in the cable connecting the seat heater to the Passenger Occupant Detection System, which may cause the passenger air bag to be disabled. The stated remedy is 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 by VIN before purchase.
