2024 AUDI SQ8 quattro Prestige

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title, with FRONT END identified as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports this primary-damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be independently confirmed from photographs. The Audi SQ8 has extensive severe damage across both front corners. The hood is heavily crushed and deeply creased, while the front bumper and grille assemblies are largely missing or broken. Both front lighting areas are damaged or absent, and the front fenders and wheel-arch areas are torn or deformed. Internal brackets, wiring, plastic supports, and other front-end components are exposed, displaced, or detached. The front cooling package is also visibly damaged. The radiator and auxiliary cooling components have crushed fins and displaced housings, with wiring and hoses extending outside their normal enclosed positions. The extent of the visible front-end damage indicates that further inspection of the cooling system, structural mounting areas, engine-bay components, wiring, and safety systems will be required. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the driver steering-wheel airbag, the passenger dashboard airbag, and the side-curtain airbags along the side windows and roofline. The curtain-airbag fabric is hanging into the cabin. Interior carpeting and trim are detached in the rear-seat, floor, and cargo areas, with one large piece showing torn and irregular edges. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 23V868000 concerns the driver’s seat side airbag, which may have been improperly mounted to the seatback frame; the remedy is dealer inspection and reinstallation as necessary. Recall 25V900000 concerns a software error that may prevent the rearview-camera image from displaying correctly; the remedy is a free software update. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Audi or NHTSA before purchase. Overall, this vehicle presents severe front-end collision damage, extensive cooling and body-component damage, multiple deployed airbags, and damaged interior trim. A complete structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, and recall-repair inspection is recommended before considering repair or purchase.
