2016 AUDI Q3 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is listed with a Salvage Certificate of Title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that visible damage to the front hood and front bumper/grille area supports the stated FRONT END primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front hood is raised above the front fascia, creating a pronounced and uneven gap along the leading edge. The front bumper and center grille area also have broken or missing black trim, with irregular edges and visible open sections. These areas should be inspected for damage to the underlying reinforcement, latch, cooling components, lighting, sensors, and other front-end structures before purchase. The visible findings do not establish the condition of these components. A small paint scuff with localized paint loss is visible on the rear liftgate below and to the right of the Q3 badge. The leather steering-wheel rim has visible wear and discoloration, particularly along the upper and side sections. Factory decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 Audi Q3 quattro Prestige SUV with all-wheel drive, a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Spain. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to this model range: recall 19V385000 concerning front turn-signal operation on vehicles equipped with LED headlights, recall 17V400000 concerning brake-light operation during emergency braking when the parking brake is used, and recall 16V642000 concerning side-marker lights.
