2018 PORSCHE MACAN

The vehicle is a 2018 Porsche Macan with a Salvage Certificate and an auction-listed primary damage classification of FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end deformation, broken grille and bumper components, damaged front-fender areas, and deployed airbags support the stated FRONT END claim. The front end has extensive severe collision damage. The hood is heavily creased and deformed along its front edge, with the image-left corner raised and irregular. The front bumper cover and lower fascia are cracked, displaced, and separated, with exposed components. The grille has broken and displaced slats, while the trim and surrounding structure around the image-left headlamp are broken and separated. The image-left front fender is crushed and creased around the wheel arch, with torn or separated edges and exposed fasteners. Additional severe deformation, separated panel edges, exposed internal areas, and irregular headlamp gaps are visible at the image-right front corner. The left rear door also has a moderate inward dent and sharp crease near the front edge and exterior handle. Inside the cabin, the driver, front passenger, and left-side curtain airbags are deployed. The windshield has a moderate spiderweb pattern of cracking in the upper-left to central area. The findings indicate substantial body, restraint-system, glass, and front-end repairs will be required. The condition of the underlying structure, cooling system, suspension, steering, electrical systems, sensors, and drivetrain cannot be determined from these findings and should be checked through a complete physical inspection and diagnostic scan. Airbag modules, pretensioners, related sensors, and control units should be professionally assessed and replaced as required.
