2018 PORSCHE CAYENNE Base / Platinum Edition

The auction record lists the vehicle with a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE** and identifies **SIDE** as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage to the left side supports the unverified SIDE primary-damage claim; however, the salvage certificate status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The main damage is concentrated along the left side. Both the left front and left rear doors are severely crushed, with extensive inward deformation, deep creases, crushed sections, and scraped or abraded paint. The left rocker panel below the doors is also severely deformed and scraped, with exposed mounting holes and missing sections of lower trim. These areas may require substantial body and structural repair, replacement parts, and inspection of components behind the damaged panels. Additional minor damage consists of multiple light-colored scuff marks on the lower front bumper and lower lip. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: campaign **18V844000**, concerning the optional ski bag fastening strap, which may have been sewn with incorrect thread and could tear, allowing the bag to become unsecured during a crash. Porsche’s stated remedy is replacement of the ski bag free of charge. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by the vehicle identification number and service records.
