2018 PORSCHE CAYENNE

The vehicle is listed with a salvage certificate of title, and the auction’s primary damage designation is “rear end.” Stage 1 reports that the visible severe damage at the rear-right corner supports the stated rear-end damage code. The salvage certificate status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The right rear quarter panel is severely crushed and heavily creased around the tail lamp and wheel arch. The adjacent body panel at the quarter-panel and bumper junction is sharply deformed, with a large irregular opening above the rear wheel. The rear bumper cover is severely cracked, torn, displaced, and partially detached from the body. Its right corner is hanging below the vehicle, with exposed attachment areas and loose material visible. A long black bumper-related component is also detached and hanging from the lower right rear corner, while part of the lower bumper cover is missing and underlying components are exposed. The lower right portion of the rear hatch and the adjacent body area have moderate creasing and distorted panel alignment next to the damaged bumper. The available findings indicate substantial rear-right collision damage. A complete repair assessment should include inspection of the underlying body structure, bumper reinforcement and mounting points, rear lighting, hatch alignment, wheel-area components, and any concealed damage before purchase or repair planning. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for certain 2018 Porsche Cayenne vehicles equipped with the optional ski bag. Recall 18V844000 concerns incorrectly sewn ski-bag fastening-strap seams that could tear and allow the bag to become unsecured during a crash. Porsche’s stated remedy is replacement of the ski bag free of charge; applicability to this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN and equipment configuration.
