2023 AUDI Q8 quattro Prestige

This 2023 Audi Q8 is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction identifies the primary damage as front end. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this unverified claim, with extensive damage observed at the front-right fender, headlamp area, and bumper assembly. The front-right fender is severely crushed and creased around the wheel opening and forward section, with distorted panel edges. The front-right headlamp assembly has broken or missing lens and housing sections, exposing internal components. The front-right bumper corner is extensively torn, cracked, displaced, and open, while the lower bumper section and adjacent trim are separated and hanging downward. Part of the front-right wheel-arch liner or trim is missing, exposing mounting holes and inner components, and mechanical and electrical components behind the bumper and headlamp area are visible. The hood edge adjacent to the right headlamp is deformed and has an irregular panel gap. The overall damage is concentrated at the front-right corner and should be considered substantial. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the underlying structural, mechanical, electrical, lighting, restraint, or driver-assistance systems. A complete physical inspection and diagnostic assessment would be required before determining the full repair scope, roadworthiness, or final cost. According to the VIN decode, this is an Audi Q8 quattro Prestige SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 335 horsepower, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Bratislava, Slovakia. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 23V868000 concerns possible improper mounting of the driver’s seat side air bag; the remedy is dealer inspection and reinstallation if necessary. Recall 25V900000 concerns software that may prevent the rearview-camera image from displaying correctly; the remedy is a software update. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or NHTSA before purchase.
