2018 AUDI S5

The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a “DLR/DIS/EXP ONLY SALVAGE TITLE (P)” and lists “NORMAL WEAR” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the photos show no obvious collision damage or replacement-level wear; the salvage-title claim cannot be confirmed from the visible evidence, while the “NORMAL WEAR” classification is not contradicted by the photos. No specific damage findings were provided for this 2018 Audi S5. Accordingly, the available information does not establish the vehicle’s mechanical, structural, or flood condition, and an in-person inspection is recommended. The VIN decodes as a Germany-built Audi S5 Sportback passenger car with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 354 hp, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle is equipped with front, side, knee, and curtain airbags, according to the decoded data. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 19V547000 (Audi campaign 74D9) concerns the passenger occupant detection system cable; oxidation may cause the passenger airbag to be disabled. Recall 21V874000 (Audi campaign 74E3) concerns a possible contact fault in the cable connecting the seat heater to the passenger occupant detection system, which may also disable the passenger airbag. The recall information provided does not confirm whether either repair has been completed, so the vehicle’s recall status should be verified with Audi or an authorized dealer.
