2018 PORSCHE CAYENNE Base / Platinum Edition

The vehicle is listed with an auction condition of “CERT OF SALVAGE > 75% DAMAGE” and a primary damage classification of “FRONT END.” These are auction designations and should be independently verified. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification: the front bumper, grille, headlamp, and adjacent fascia sections are visibly missing or damaged. However, the photographs do not independently establish that the vehicle exceeds 75% damage. The most significant visible damage is concentrated at the front-left and center front. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with internal components and wiring exposed. The front bumper cover has multiple broken, displaced, or missing sections, particularly in the lower center and front-left areas. The central grille is absent or broken away, and the lower front-left fascia and air-intake trim are broken and incomplete. Additional trim and body-cover sections around the front-left lamp and bumper corner are missing, with internal mounting areas visible. Several light scratches and scuff marks are visible on the side doors and lower side body. Inside the vehicle, the rear seat cushions show discoloration, abrasion, and small areas of surface peeling. The driver’s seat cushion has discoloration and a small dark damaged area, while the steering-wheel rim shows surface wear and discoloration. A NHTSA recall, campaign 18V844000, applies to certain Porsche vehicles, including certain 2018 Cayenne models equipped with the optional ski bag. The ski bag fastening strap may have been sewn with incorrect thread and may require replacement. Applicability to this specific vehicle and the completion of any remedy should be verified by VIN with Porsche or an authorized dealer. The visible front-end damage is substantial and likely requires replacement of multiple exterior components, followed by inspection of the exposed internal structure, wiring, lighting systems, cooling components, sensors, and mounting points. The available findings do not establish the condition of those concealed components or confirm the auction’s stated damage percentage.
