2023 AUDI Q4 E-TRON 40 e-tron Premium

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “VANDALISM” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence does not specifically support the vandalism claim: a missing driver-side exterior mirror with exposed wiring is visible, but the cause cannot be determined from the photos. Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photos. The documented damage is moderate and consists of the missing driver-side exterior mirror assembly. Electrical wires and connectors are exposed and hanging from the mirror mounting area. The vehicle should undergo a physical inspection to check the wiring, connectors, mounting points, door area, and related electrical systems, and to confirm whether any additional damage is present. The mirror assembly will require replacement. The VIN decodes as a 2023 Audi Q4 40 e-tron Premium SUV, manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. It is identified as a battery-electric vehicle with an automatic transmission and a listed combined system output of 201 horsepower. NHTSA records identify four recalls applicable to the 2023 Audi Q4 e-tron. These involve potential head-curtain air-bag damage from the door seal, overheating of the 220V/240V compact charging cable or outlet, incorrect headlight-control-module software, and software that may fail to display the transmission gear position correctly. The recorded remedies include dealer installation of protective tape, replacement of the affected charging cable, headlight-control software updating, and brake-control-unit software updating. Recall completion should be verified with Audi before purchase.
