2015 PORSCHE MACAN S

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a “Clear” condition and classifies the primary damage as “Front End.” However, the Stage 1 photo assessment found minor cosmetic damage at the lower front bumper. The photos do not support an undamaged or clear condition, but they support only a limited Front End designation and do not show substantial front-end collision damage. Visible damage includes a small irregular white paint mark with localized paint loss on the lower center of the front bumper trim. Light whitish abrasion and surface scuffing are also visible on the outer lower bolster of the front driver’s seat. Both findings are classified as minor cosmetic damage. The instrument cluster displays “Power steering fail” and “Increased effort.” The underlying cause and actual system operation cannot be established from the photos, so the power-steering system should be professionally inspected before purchase. A tire-pressure warning symbol is also illuminated; the tire pressures and condition of the tire-pressure monitoring system should be checked. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2015 Porsche Macan S, Type 95B, manufactured in Leipzig, Germany. The vehicle is listed as a gasoline-powered SUV with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine and a decoded output of 340 horsepower. The VIN check digit is reported as valid. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 20V077000 concerns possible cracking at the fuel-pump flange, which could cause a fuel leak and increase fire risk; the remedy involves inspection, protective film application, and replacement where necessary. Recall 14V470000 applies to certain 2015 Macan vehicles manufactured from March 6 through April 26, 2014, and concerns possible brake-booster damage during installation. Recall completion and VIN-specific eligibility should be verified with Porsche before purchase.
