2016 AUDI S3 quattro Premium Plus

The vehicle is listed with a Certificate of Salvage and a FRONT END primary-damage designation. The visible absence of the front bumper cover, both headlights, grille, and lower front fascia supports the stated FRONT END damage code. The Certificate of Salvage status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover, both headlamp assemblies, center grille, and surrounding front fascia are missing. The front bumper reinforcement, support components, wiring, cooling-area components, and mounting areas are exposed. The lower front fascia, intake, and under-bumper trim are also absent. These findings indicate substantial front-end damage and incomplete exterior components; the condition of concealed structural, mechanical, electrical, cooling, restraint, and driver-assistance systems is not established by the available findings. At the rear, the lower diffuser or valance is missing, exposing the lower bumper and exhaust-outlet area. A shallow dent and crease are present on the left rear door below the handle, and a light-colored paint scuff is visible on the left front door. NHTSA decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2016 Audi S3 sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Hungary and is listed in the quattro Premium Plus trim. Three NHTSA safety recalls are recorded for this model and year. They concern the passenger occupant detection system, which may deactivate the passenger air bag, and the front passenger air-bag inflator, which may deploy improperly or rupture. Recall remedies are described as free repairs, including connector and cable revisions, occupant-detection-system component replacement and software updates, and front passenger air-bag module replacement. Repair completion should be verified with Audi before purchase.
