2023 AUDI S5 quattro Premium Plus

The auction record identifies this 2023 Audi S5 as having a salvage certificate of title, with “SIDE” listed as the primary damage classification. Stage 1’s assessment found that the visible damage to the left-side doors and rear quarter panel supports the stated SIDE classification. However, the salvage-certificate title status could not be confirmed from exterior photographs. The visible damage is concentrated on the left side. The left front and rear doors have multiple long horizontal scrape marks, paint transfer, and contrasting material across their lower and middle sections. The left rear door and the quarter panel ahead of the rear wheel show moderate dents, irregular depressions, creases, and additional scuffing. The left front door, left rear door, and left rear quarter panel also have uneven panel surfaces and side-panel deformation, including a pronounced depression around the rear door and rear wheel-arch area. Several light scrape marks are present on the left side of the rear bumper cover. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2023 Audi S5 Sportback-style hatchback/liftback with Audi’s quattro all-wheel-drive system, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 349 horsepower, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified as the quattro Premium Plus trim. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle series: recall 24V251000 concerns the front passenger-seat occupant detection system. A loose electrical connection may deactivate the front passenger airbag, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. The stated remedy is replacement of the occupant detection system control module by an authorized dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase.
