2017 AUDI S7 quattro Prestige

The vehicle is listed with a salvage vehicle title, and the auction’s primary-damage classification is FRONT END. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment supports this classification: the front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, with exposed and displaced front-end components and visible deformation along the hood edge. The front bumper assembly and associated plastic components are detached, with some pieces lying on the ground. The front crash bar, wiring, connectors, brackets, cooling area, and other internal front-end components are exposed. Several components appear displaced or broken, and wiring is hanging below the front end. Both headlamps and the front grille are absent. The hood has an uneven, raised gap along its front edge, particularly on the left side, and does not align flush with the adjacent panels. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2017 Audi S7 sedan built in Germany, equipped with all-wheel drive, a 4.0-liter eight-cylinder gasoline engine, and an automatic transmission. The listed trim is quattro Prestige. Two NHTSA safety recalls are associated with this make, model, and year. Recall 18V370000 concerns the passenger-seat occupant classification system, which may affect proper deployment of the front passenger airbag; the stated remedy is installation of a PODS system repair kit. Recall 22V178000 concerns a turbocharger oil-supply strainer that may become blocked, potentially causing turbocharger wear, engine stalling, and an increased crash risk; the stated remedy is replacement of the oil strainer and an oil change. Recall completion should be verified before purchase. A thorough physical inspection is recommended to assess the complete extent of the front-end, electrical, cooling-system, structural, and safety-system damage.
