2024 AUDI Q3

This 2024 Audi Q3 is listed with a salvage title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end damage supports the unverified FRONT END primary-damage claim. The SALVAGE TITLE designation cannot be verified from exterior photographs alone. The vehicle has severe visible collision damage concentrated at the front. The front bumper cover, grille, and fascia are missing or detached, leaving the cooling components and front-end hardware exposed. The front center and lower engine-bay areas show broken plastic, displaced or detached components, and visible damage to the cooling assembly. The hood is heavily creased and deformed across the front edge, while both front fenders are crushed and torn around the wheel openings. The left front corner has extensive deformation, missing exterior panels, exposed components, and hanging broken pieces. Both front headlight areas are visibly broken, with missing surrounding trim and exposed internal components. The left headlight and adjacent bodywork show particularly extensive damage. The detached front bumper cover is visible with broken mounting areas, torn edges, and separated grille sections. The driver steering-wheel airbag is deployed and hanging from the steering-wheel center. Curtain airbags are also visibly deployed along the left roof-side area and beside the front footwell. Further inspection will be required to assess the restraint system, structural components, cooling system, engine-bay components, wiring, and mechanical condition. According to the VIN decode, this is an all-wheel-drive Audi Q3 with the 45 TFSI 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission. It is identified as the S line quattro Premium Plus trim and was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 24V251000 concerns a possible loose electrical connection affecting the front passenger occupant-detection system, which may deactivate the front passenger airbag; the stated remedy is replacement of the occupant-detection system control module. Recall 25V082000 concerns a software error that may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying correctly; the stated remedy is a camera-control-unit software update. Recall completion for this vehicle should be confirmed by VIN with an Audi dealer.
