2012 AUDI S4 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title, and the auction’s primary-damage designation is “front end.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage designation, while noting that the salvage-title status cannot be independently confirmed from the photographs. The front end has severe visible damage. The hood is heavily crushed and deeply creased across the front and center sections, with a raised edge and an uneven gap above the front fascia. The main front grille is missing, exposing the radiator and other internal components. The front bumper cover is broken and incomplete through the center and lower areas, with exposed components and irregular broken edges. The lower grille is damaged, and the lower bumper openings are missing their grille inserts. A black splitter or lower trim piece is detached and positioned below the bumper. The right side of the rear bumper has several superficial black scuff marks near the parking sensor. No other findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2012 Audi S4 sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.967-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany. An official NHTSA recall is listed for this model and year: recall 15V019000 concerns the fuel injection system fuel rails and seals, which may develop a fuel leak and increase the risk of fire. The stated remedy is replacement of the fuel rails and corresponding seals by an authorized dealer at no charge. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified using its VIN. Due to the extent of the visible front-end damage, a thorough inspection of the radiator, cooling system, front structural components, lighting, wiring, suspension, steering, safety systems, and mechanical components is recommended before purchase.
