2019 AUDI S5 quattro Prestige

This 2019 Audi S5 is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage classification is FRONT END. The visible severe front-end collision damage supports that classification. The salvage certificate status itself cannot be independently confirmed from the photographs. The front of the vehicle has extensive damage. The hood is severely crushed, buckled, and deeply creased, particularly on the left side, with additional deformation toward the center. The front-left fender is heavily deformed around the wheel opening and forward edge, with exterior panels separated and inner components exposed. The front bumper cover is detached and fractured at both corners, with open gaps, missing sections of the lower fascia and side trim, and visible internal components. The front-left bumper corner is hanging away from the vehicle. The grille is displaced and broken along its surrounding trim. Lighting and other front-left trim components are missing, leaving wiring and internal components exposed. The driver and front passenger airbags are deployed, along with a curtain airbag along the roof-side area. This indicates that the restraint system will require comprehensive inspection and likely replacement of deployed components, with further checks needed for related sensors, wiring, and control modules. The rear bumper also has moderate abrasion and tearing on its lower left side, including missing surface material. Factory data identifies the vehicle as a Germany-built 2019 Audi S5 Sportback/quattro Prestige with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The listed VIN is WAUC4CF50KA017638. NHTSA records list several recalls associated with applicable 2019 S5 variants, including recalls involving the rear axle, rear axle alignment and tire wear, the passenger-occupant detection and airbag system, and front shock absorber forks. The available information does not establish whether these recalls were completed on this vehicle. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer. A thorough physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including the front structure, suspension, steering, cooling and electrical systems, wheel alignment, airbag and restraint systems, and the extent of damage behind the visible body panels. Repair costs may be substantial because the vehicle has severe front-end damage, missing components, and multiple deployed airbags.
