2012 AUDI A5 quattro Premium

This 2012 Audi A5 is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s stated primary damage is “front end.” However, Stage 1’s photo-based assessment reports that the visible evidence does not support this classification: the front exterior appears intact apart from cloudy headlamp lenses, while substantial damage is concentrated on the left rear quarter and side, with deployed airbags. The left rear quarter panel has severe deformation, including a large depressed area with multiple creases extending around the wheel arch. A pronounced horizontal crease and depressed section are also visible along the lower left door and adjacent rocker-panel area. The left-side curtain airbag is deployed and hanging from the roof-side and upper side-window area. In addition, the outer side airbag in a front seat has deployed, with the seat bolster upholstery torn around the deployment area. These restraint-system components and the associated collision damage will require thorough repair assessment. Both front headlamp lenses show yellowed, cloudy discoloration, which is a minor cosmetic concern but may affect light output. According to the VIN decode, this is a German-built 2012 Audi A5 coupe with quattro all-wheel drive, a 1.984-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 211 horsepower, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle is identified as the quattro Premium trim. A complete inspection of the body structure, left-side impact areas, airbag and seat-belt systems, suspension, wheel alignment, electrical systems, and lighting is recommended before purchase.
