2017 PORSCHE MACAN

The vehicle is a 2017 Porsche Macan. The auction record lists the condition as “CERTIFICATE OF TITLE” with a primary damage code of “MINOR DENT/SCRATCHES.” Stage 1 reports that the visible photos support the scratches portion of this code through light scuffing on the lower rear bumper, but no clear dent is visible. The certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The visible exterior damage consists of minor light-colored scuffing and surface scratches on the lower rear bumper corner near the exhaust outlet. The instrument cluster also displays the warning message, “Check left side marker.” The cause of this warning and the condition of the side-marker system should be checked before purchase. NHTSA records list six safety recalls for this 2017 Macan: the front passenger-seat occupancy classification sensor, optional ski-bag fastening strap, fuel-pump service cover and flange, front anti-roll-bar connecting links, and lower rear outboard seat-belt anchors. These recalls involve potential air-bag nondeployment, ski-bag detachment, fuel leakage and fire risk, possible loss of vehicle control, and rear seat-belt-anchor detachment. Recall completion should be verified with Porsche or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number.
