2014 AUDI Q7 S Line Prestige

The vehicle is listed by the auction as having a public salvage title with FRONT END as the primary damage classification. The reported visible-damage assessment supports the FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from exterior photographs. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is substantially deformed and creased along the front edge and both front corners, with large uneven gaps around the headlamps and grille. The central grille has broken or missing black plastic sections, leaving open areas and exposing components behind it. The front bumper cover is broken or missing across the center, left side, and right corner, with internal mounting and component areas visible. The driver’s seat leather shows minor wrinkling and surface wear. The steering-wheel grip also has visibly worn, shiny areas. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2014 Audi Q7 S line Prestige SUV, manufactured by Audi AG in Slovakia. It is equipped with a 3.0T gasoline V6 engine with a 2.995-liter displacement; the decoded data lists an engine output range of 280–333 horsepower. The VIN is WA1DGAFE1ED020578. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this vehicle’s make, model, and year. Recall 17V298000 concerns a fuel-pump flange that may crack and allow fuel to leak, increasing the risk of fire; the remedy involves inspection and either replacement or application of protective film. Recall 23V086000 concerns an incorrect rear gross axle weight rating on the certification label; the remedy is installation of a corrected label. Recall completion should be confirmed with Audi or an authorized dealer before purchase. A thorough inspection should also include the structure behind the damaged front-end components, cooling and fuel systems, lighting, airbag and restraint systems, suspension, steering, and wheel alignment.
