2020 AUDI S5 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate and an auction condition of “more than 75% damage,” with “rear end” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification; however, the photographs do not establish or verify the claimed extent of damage exceeding 75%. The visible damage is concentrated at the left rear and rear bumper area. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the reinforcement beam, mounting components, exhaust outlets, and wiring. Electrical wiring and connectors are visible and hanging at the rear bumper corners. The left rear quarter panel is severely creased and deformed around the rear door opening and wheel arch, with extensive scraped and abraded paint. The left rear door has substantial crushing, creasing, scraped paint, and an irregular damaged edge near the door opening. Its exterior handle is missing, leaving an open recess in the door panel. The left rocker panel or side-skirt area below the rear door is also deformed and abraded. A separate dark scuff or paint-transfer mark is visible on the lower-middle portion of the left front door. The available findings do not confirm the condition of concealed structural components, suspension, exhaust, wiring systems, safety systems, or the vehicle’s mechanical operation. A thorough physical inspection and post-repair systems check are recommended before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2020 Audi S5 Sportback with gasoline 3.0-liter six-cylinder power, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Germany and is identified as the quattro Prestige trim. Factory-recorded equipment includes curtain, front, knee, and side airbags, as well as forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear visibility, and parking-assist systems. Damage in the rear bumper and left rear body area should be inspected for possible effects on wiring and driver-assistance equipment. NHTSA records show four applicable recalls: 21V295000 concerning possible rear-axle trailing-arm lock-nut failure; 22V034000 concerning rear-axle alignment inspection following the earlier repair; 21V874000 concerning a passenger-seat heating/PODS cable fault that may disable the passenger airbag; and 20V737000 concerning missing anti-abrasion protection for the rear-light wiring harness on applicable Sportback models. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or an authorized dealer, particularly after this rear-end damage.
