2017 AUDI Q3 2.0T PREMIUM

The auction lists the vehicle as Salvage with “Left Side” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that visible extensive collision damage is concentrated on the left side, supporting the auction’s unverified Left Side damage code. However, the Salvage title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs alone. The most significant damage affects both left-side doors and the rocker panel. The left front door has a large irregular dent with multiple creases, dark abrasion, and paint transfer along the lower edge. The left rear door is extensively dented, with sharp creases, deformation near the lower edge and door seam, and damage across the outer panel. The left rocker panel below the doors shows pronounced deformation, creasing, scraped paint, and dark abrasion extending beneath both doors. These areas require thorough inspection for damage to the door structures, hinges, latches, side-impact components, rocker structure, and adjacent underbody components. Additional collision damage includes a broad inward dent and crease on the left rear quarter panel ahead of the rear wheel. The outer trim for the left front wheel arch is missing, with its mounting holes exposed. The left front bumper has black scuffing, abrasion, and scraped paint, while the rear bumper has several localized scuff and scrape marks. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2017 Audi Q3 quattro Premium Plus SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and five seats. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Spain.
