2018 AUDI SQ5 quattro Prestige

The 2018 Audi SQ5 is listed with a salvage certificate of title and an auction primary-damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front bumper and front-end damage supports the listed FRONT END classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The main damage is concentrated at the front of the vehicle. The left side of the front bumper cover has a large broken and missing section near the headlamp and grille, exposing jagged plastic edges and dark components behind the fascia. The lower bumper opening is missing its surrounding trim or insert, leaving internal components visible. A pronounced gap is also present along the lower bumper edge beneath the grille, indicating bumper separation. The front portion of the hood has a shallow irregular dent and crease near the leading edge. A broad dent with an angular crease extends through the central and lower area of the left front door. The findings provided do not confirm the condition of the underlying structure, lighting components, cooling system, sensors, or other mechanical parts, so these areas should be inspected before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2018 Audi SQ5 quattro Prestige SUV with all-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 354 horsepower, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Audi AG in Mexico. NHTSA records list recalls for this model and year involving the gateway control module, brake caliper performance, wheel-arch trim, rear wheel-arch trim, and the brake master cylinder. Recall completion should be verified with Audi using the VIN, and any outstanding safety repairs should be completed before the vehicle is driven.
