2018 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T

The 2018 Dodge Challenger is listed with a salvage vehicle title, and the auction identifies the primary damage as front-end damage. The visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim: the front-left fender, bumper, fascia, grille-surround area, headlamp area, fog-lamp area, and lower trim show extensive damage. The salvage title itself cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The front-left fender is severely crushed and creased around the wheel opening, with deformation and broken panel material extending toward the front corner. The left corner of the front bumper cover is cracked, torn, displaced, and hanging away from the vehicle. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an exposed opening and internal components visible. Sections of the front fascia and grille surround are broken or missing, and the lower bumper and fog-lamp opening have damaged or displaced trim. The wheel-arch liner, splash-panel material, and lower body trim are detached and hanging beside or below the front-left wheel. According to the VIN decode, this is a two-door coupe with rear-wheel drive, a 5.7-litre gasoline V8, and a six-speed manual transmission. It is identified as an R/T model, manufactured by FCA Canada at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, stability control, traction control, daytime running lights, direct tire-pressure monitoring, front and side airbags, and a standard rear-visibility system. Official recalls are listed for this model year, including potential issues involving cruise-control disengagement, the transmission park-lock rod, a powertrain-control-module voltage regulator that may cause stalling or a no-start condition, and—in certain Mopar performance-package applications—a powertrain-control-module issue. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Dodge or an authorized dealer. The listed recalls include automatic-transmission-related campaigns, while this vehicle is decoded with a manual transmission. A full inspection is required to assess possible damage behind the visible body panels, including the lighting and fascia mounting points, front structural components, wheel and suspension area, wiring, cooling system, steering, braking system, and overall drivability. Repair and road-use decisions should not be made from the exterior findings alone.
