2023 DODGE CHARGER R/T

The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the side-damage classification because extensive damage is present along the left side. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The main damage is concentrated on the left side. The left front door is severely crushed, with deep creases, torn outer surfaces, and exposed inner areas. The left front fender and the area around the front-door hinge are severely deformed, while the rocker panel and lower sill beneath the door show moderate creasing and deformation. The left front door window is shattered, and the lower-left portion of the windshield has concentrated spiderweb cracking. Additional damage is visible at the left rear quarter panel, including dark scrape marks, paint transfer, denting, and creasing around the rear wheel arch. The left exterior mirror assembly is detached, with the housing and glass separated from the mounting area. Left-side and left-rear side-curtain airbags are deployed and hanging along the roof and side-window areas. Because the damage affects the door, hinge area, rocker panel, glass, exterior mirror, and supplemental restraint system, a thorough inspection should include the underlying body structure, door and latch operation, wiring, airbag and pretensioner systems, windshield, suspension and wheel alignment, and any related mechanical components before purchase or repair. The VIN identifies this vehicle as a 2023 Dodge Charger R/T sedan with rear-wheel drive, a 5.7-liter gasoline V8 engine rated at 370 horsepower, and standard safety equipment including electronic stability control, traction control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and front and side airbags. The vehicle was manufactured by FCA Canada Inc. in Brampton, Ontario, Canada. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 24V112000 concerns an improperly adjusted parking brake that could allow the vehicle to roll away; the remedy is dealer adjustment of the parking brake. Recall 24V574000 concerns the left rear seat back potentially failing to lock upright; the remedy is dealer inspection and adjustment of the seat-back latch striker. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before operation.
