2018 PORSCHE PANAMERA 4S

The vehicle is a 2018 Porsche Panamera 4S with a salvage title designation. The auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that this claim is supported by visible severe damage to the front-left fender, hood edge, headlamp area, driver-side mirror, and windshield. The CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE status itself could not be confirmed from the photos alone. The front-left fender is severely crushed, with pronounced creasing and compression above and behind the wheel. The panel edges are irregular, and the gaps around the headlamp and driver’s door are disturbed. The left-front edge of the hood is moderately deformed, with visible creasing and an uneven edge adjacent to the damaged fender and headlamp area. The front-left headlamp area has a pronounced open gap and irregular surrounding panels. The driver-side exterior mirror is severely broken, with the housing displaced and internal components exposed. The front edge of the driver’s door also has moderate dents and creasing around the mirror mounting area and upper edge. The windshield has severe spiderweb cracking concentrated on the lower-left side, with multiple cracks extending across the glass. A moderate low-beam fault warning is visible in the instrument cluster: “Left low beam faulty Check low beam.” The cause of this warning has not been established by the provided findings. According to the VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive, four-door sedan with all-wheel drive, a 2.9-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and a four-seat configuration. The vehicle was manufactured by Porsche in Germany. NHTSA records list several recalls applicable to certain 2018 Panamera vehicles, including potential loss of electric power-steering assist, an electrical control-unit soldering issue that may affect driveability, an instrument-cluster software issue involving brake-pad warnings, and a climate-control coolant-pump issue that may cause an electrical short circuit and increase fire risk. A brake-line corrosion recall applies to certain hybrid variants. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Porsche or an authorized dealer before purchase. A comprehensive inspection is recommended, including the front structure, steering and suspension, lighting system, airbags and restraint systems, windshield, door alignment, electrical systems, and any systems affected by the collision.
