2018 AUDI A5

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a salvage title and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification because the front bumper, grille, and adjacent fascia components are missing or exposed; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The vehicle is a 2018 Audi A5 coupe, identified by VIN WAUTNAF56JA039398. Factory data describes it as an all-wheel-drive model with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission, built by Audi AG in Germany. The front end has severe collision damage. The front bumper cover, center grille, and grille-area trim are missing, leaving the cooling components, intercooler, radiator area, hoses, mounting points, and lower front structure exposed. A headlamp assembly, a long blue-and-black trim piece, and a large black plastic component are detached and lying beside the vehicle. The left front fender is missing, exposing the wheel-house area and adjacent components. The left door has pronounced deformation along the front and lower sections, with extensive scraping, chipping, and paint loss. The adjacent left front quarter and lower body area also show substantial deformation and abrasions. The left rocker panel or side skirt is moderately damaged, with deformation, abrasions, and detached or missing trim. The left exterior mirror has an exposed internal assembly and missing or displaced housing components. A minor light-colored linear scuff is visible on the blue paint below the side character line in the right rear door or quarter-panel area. The findings document significant exterior collision damage, but they do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, steering, airbags, electrical systems, or underlying structural components. These areas should be physically inspected before purchase, particularly because several front-end components are exposed or missing.
