2020 AUDI Q5 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is a 2020 Audi Q5 with a salvage certificate and an auction-listed primary damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this primary-damage claim through extensive front-end deformation and missing components. The salvage certificate is an administrative status and cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front end has sustained severe collision damage. The hood has extensive creasing, deep dents, and multiple scratches. The front bumper cover, grille, and numerous fascia, lower-trim, and mounting components are missing or detached. The exposed front reinforcement bar is bowed and deformed. The radiator and other cooling components are exposed, with surrounding supports and lower components visibly displaced, bent, or detached. Both front fender areas are damaged. One has extensive crumpling and a torn edge around the wheel opening and headlamp area; the opposite fender and adjacent panel area are also creased and deformed. Sections of the front wheel-arch trim and inner liner are missing, exposing mounting points and internal areas. The driver airbag is deployed from the steering wheel, and curtain airbags are deployed along both roof-side areas of the passenger compartment. The instrument cluster displays the warning, “Turn off engine and check coolant level. See owner's manual,” along with other illuminated indicators. The cooling-system warning should be investigated before any attempt to operate the vehicle. Factory data identifies this vehicle as an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder gasoline engine and automatic transmission. It was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico and is identified by VIN WA1CNAFY8L2029685. NHTSA records list recalls applicable to the 2020 Audi Q5, including recalls involving rear axle lock nuts and alignment, the gateway control module, front seat frame or backrest welding, and rear wheel-arch trim retention. The supplied records also include a charging-cable recall listing the Q5 among affected vehicles. Completion status is not provided, so the VIN and recall repairs should be verified with Audi before purchase. The vehicle requires extensive structural, body, cooling-system, restraint-system, electrical, and mechanical inspection and repair. Airbag-system replacement, front-end component replacement, and proper scanning and calibration of affected safety systems should be expected. It should not be considered roadworthy until professionally inspected and repaired.
