2013 PORSCHE PANAMERA Base (2WD), 4 (4WD)

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a salvage certificate of title and “SIDE” as the primary damage classification. However, Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence shows only minor cosmetic scuffs and paint chips, with no clear side-impact damage; the “SIDE” claim is not supported by the photos, and salvage-title status cannot be confirmed visually. The documented exterior damage consists of light-colored scuffing and small paint chips on the lower front bumper and front lip. Additional minor linear scuffing is visible along the lower edge of the left rocker-panel side skirt, including near its front portion. No other damage findings are provided. The instrument display reportedly shows “Check coolant level.” The available evidence does not establish the cause or confirm a mechanical failure, so the cooling system should be inspected before purchase. VIN decoding identifies this as a 2013 Porsche Panamera sedan, Type 970, with a 3.6-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 300 horsepower. It was manufactured by Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AG in Leipzig, Germany. The decoder lists the trim as Base (2WD), 4 (4WD), but does not identify which drivetrain or transmission is fitted to this vehicle. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to certain 2013 Panamera vehicles: the gear-selector cable bushing may detach, potentially allowing the transmission not to be in Park; water may enter the air-conditioning blower control unit and cause an electrical short; and missing headlight adjustment-screw caps may result in improperly adjusted headlights. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified with Porsche using the VIN.
