2021 PORSCHE MACAN Base

The auction record lists a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE** and identifies the primary damage as **FRONT END**. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END damage classification through substantial front-corner damage; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. Severe collision damage is visible at both front corners. The headlamp assemblies are missing, exposing internal lamp components, wiring, and mounting structures. The front bumper cover is cracked, torn, and separated at one corner, with broken or displaced sections around the lamp opening and lower intake. At the other front corner, the bumper cover has broken and missing sections, detached trim, and exposed components around the lower grille. The hood edge adjacent to the damaged headlamp has an uneven contour and an enlarged panel gap. The corresponding front fender edge is irregular, with displaced panel edges and exposed areas behind the bodywork. The instrument-cluster display shows: **“Headlight range regulation defective Service required.”** The vehicle is also subject to NHTSA recall **21V224000** concerning the front and rear shock-absorber screw connections, which may not have been tightened properly. The potential consequences include braking-system damage, driving instability, and loss of control. Porsche’s stated remedy is inspection and reworking/tightening of the connections by an authorized dealer, free of charge; the recall remedy status for this vehicle is not provided. A thorough inspection and repair estimate should be obtained before purchase, including checks of the headlamp and bumper mounting areas, exposed wiring and components, front body alignment, lighting-system operation, and the recall remedy status.
