2018 AUDI A8 quattro Sport L

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “rear end” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this rear-end classification because the trunk lid, rear spoiler, and rear bumper are damaged; extensive front-end damage is also present. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood’s front edge is visibly deformed, with raised sections and irregular gaps above the grille and headlamp areas. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with internal components and wiring exposed. The grille has broken or missing trim, irregular openings, and displaced slats. The front bumper cover is split and separated around the grille and headlamp openings, with a loose cable or component hanging from the front corner. Additional moderate deformation and uneven panel gaps are visible around the front fender, wheel arch, hood, and headlamp opening. At the rear, the trunk lid has a deformed lower edge and enlarged irregular gaps above the bumper. The spoiler is separated from the trunk lid along its mounting base, and the rear bumper cover has broad dents and creased surfaces across the center and right side. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2018 Audi A8 sedan with all-wheel drive, a 4.0-liter gasoline V8 engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified with the quattro Sport L trim. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 20V397000 concerns the engine-compartment seal becoming loose and contacting hot engine components, increasing the risk of fire; the specified remedy is installation of a retaining plate.

Recall completion should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer.
