2015 AUDI A6 Premium

The auction record lists a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE and identifies FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that visible damage at the left front corner supports the stated FRONT END classification. However, the salvage-title status could not be confirmed from the photographs. The main visible damage is concentrated at the left front corner. The left front fender is severely crushed and folded from the front edge toward the wheel arch, with pronounced creasing around the wheel opening and next to the headlamp. The left front edge of the hood has a moderate raised, irregular crease above the damaged fender. The left front bumper corner shows extensive light-colored scraping and surface irregularity, with a pronounced open gap where the bumper meets the fender. An open rectangular section is also visible in the lower left front bumper, where trim or another component is missing. The VIN decode identifies this vehicle as a 2015 Audi A6 sedan with a 2.0T gasoline engine, 1.984-liter displacement, four cylinders, automatic transmission, and Premium trim. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. The drive type was not provided. NHTSA records list four recalls applicable to this vehicle. Two concern the electric coolant pump on 2.0-liter Turbo FSI engines and involve possible overheating or fire risk; one calls for a software update and the other for coolant-pump replacement. Another recall concerns possible overheating of the auxiliary-heater electrical connector, while a further recall concerns the front-passenger occupant-detection system and possible incorrect air-bag deployment. The available information does not confirm whether any of these recall remedies have been completed. The visible damage warrants inspection of the front-end structure, lighting, bumper components, wheel-area components, cooling system, wiring, and safety systems before purchase or repair.
