2015 PORSCHE MACAN

The 2015 Porsche Macan is listed by the auction with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and FRONT END as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END classification: the front bumper, grille, fascia, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, and the hood is visibly dented and scratched. However, Stage 1 also states that the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The front bumper cover and associated fascia are absent, leaving the radiator and other front-mounted components exposed. Both headlamp assemblies are missing, as are the front grille and several trim pieces. The lower front undertray is detached and hanging below the vehicle. The removed bumper assembly is shown separately, with detached lighting and grille components and visibly damaged or incomplete plastic mounting sections. The hood has multiple creases and dents across the front and center areas, along with numerous deep-looking linear scratches and paint scuffs. Additional cosmetic damage includes scratches and surface scuffs on the rear liftgate and upper rear panel, light scuffing on the right rear bumper corner, and several surface marks on the left rear door and adjacent rear quarter-panel area. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 20V077000 concerns the fuel pump service cover potentially contacting the fuel-pump filter flange, which may cause cracks and fuel leakage; the remedy involves reworking or replacing the flange, applying protective film, and replacing it if cracks are found. Recall 14V470000 applies to certain 2015 Macan vehicles manufactured from March 6 through April 26, 2014, and concerns possible damage to the brake booster during installation, which could reduce brake assistance. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Porsche or an authorized dealer. The documented damage is concentrated at the front end and appears to require extensive replacement of exterior, lighting, trim, and mounting components, together with inspection of the exposed front-end structure and mechanical systems before purchase or road use.
