2017 AUDI A8 quattro Sport L

The vehicle is a 2017 Audi A8 sedan with an auction designation of “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” and a primary damage code of “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated FRONT END damage classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The visible damage is concentrated at the front left corner. The front left headlamp lens and housing are severely broken, with internal components exposed. The adjacent bumper cover is cracked, deformed, and missing sections around the headlamp and lower opening. The front left edge of the hood is raised and uneven, and the nearby fender has localized deformation with an irregular panel contour. The grille insert in the lower front-left bumper opening is missing, leaving an open cavity. The findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structural, electrical, cooling, suspension, or restraint systems. A detailed physical inspection and diagnostic scan are recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a Germany-built 2017 Audi A8 with all-wheel drive, a gasoline 4.0-liter V8 engine rated at 450 hp, and an automatic transmission. NHTSA records list three recalls for this vehicle’s make, model, and year. Recall 19V035000 concerns possible fuel-rail leaks that may increase the risk of fire; the remedy is replacement of the left and right fuel rails. Recall 20V397000 concerns the engine-compartment seal coming loose and contacting hot engine components; the remedy is installation of a retaining plate. Recall 22V178000 concerns a turbocharger oil-supply strainer that may become blocked, potentially causing turbocharger damage, engine stalling, and an increased crash risk; the remedy includes replacing the oil strainer and changing the oil. Recall completion should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
