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

The auction record lists this 2013 Porsche Panamera with a Salvage Certificate and “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim: the rear bumper assembly is severely torn, crushed, detached, and exposing internal components. The rear bumper has extensive damage across the vehicle’s width. The left rear corner is torn and partially detached, with large sections missing and wiring and internal components exposed. The right rear corner is heavily crushed and displaced. The bumper cover is extensively cracked, split, and broken, while the underlying housings, brackets, and wiring are visible. A metal bumper beam behind the cover is visibly bowed and displaced. The license-plate recess area is also displaced, and the lower edge of the trunk lid has visible kinks and uneven gaps above the damaged bumper. Inside the cabin, the front passenger seat’s outer bolster has a minor light-colored scuff. No other findings were provided. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2013 Porsche Panamera sedan (Type 970), manufactured by Porsche in Leipzig, Germany. The vehicle is identified with a 3.6-liter gasoline six-cylinder engine rated at 300 horsepower. The VIN is WP0AA2A74DL017381. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to the 2013 Panamera model range: a gear-selector cable bushing recall that may allow the transmission not to be in Park despite the selector position, an A/C blower control unit recall involving possible water intrusion and electrical shorting, and a headlight adjustment-cap recall that may result in improperly aimed headlights. The completion status of these recalls for this vehicle should be verified with Porsche using the VIN. A complete inspection should include the rear body structure, bumper beam and mounting points, trunk-lid alignment, wiring, lighting, parking sensors or other rear equipment, and the vehicle’s mechanical and safety systems before purchase or repair.
