2018 PORSCHE CAYENNE Base / Platinum Edition

The vehicle is a 2018 Porsche Cayenne, listed by the auction with a “Certificate of Title” condition and “Minor Dent/Scratches” as the primary damage classification. The auction’s primary-damage claim is not supported by the visible evidence reviewed: the photos do not show clear minor dents or scratches. The certificate-of-title status cannot be verified from the photos. The documented visible issues are minor cosmetic defects. The leather surface of the front center armrest has a dark, irregular discoloration. Brown surface discoloration consistent with surface corrosion is visible on the exposed metal hood-latch bracket at the front edge of the engine compartment. According to the VIN decode, this is an all-wheel-drive SUV with a 3.6-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and left-hand drive. The vehicle was manufactured by Porsche in Germany and is identified as a Base/Platinum Edition Cayenne. One NHTSA recall is listed for certain 2018 Cayenne vehicles equipped with the optional ski bag. The ski-bag fastening strap may have been sewn with incorrect thread, allowing the seams to tear and the bag to become unsecured in a crash. Porsche’s stated remedy is replacement of the ski bag. Applicability to this specific vehicle and recall completion should be confirmed by VIN and with an authorized Porsche dealer.
