2018 PORSCHE PANAMERA Base / 4

The auction record designates this vehicle as a “DERELICT VEHICLE CERTIFICATE (P)” and lists the primary damage as “MINOR DENT/SCRATCHES.” However, the photo review found that the vehicle appears largely intact, with only limited minor surface marks visible. The minor dent/scratches description is only partially supported: surface marks are visible, but no clear dent is confirmed. Several small, light-colored surface scratches are visible on the dark paint near the upper-middle section of the left rear door and the adjacent left rear quarter panel. These appear to be minor cosmetic defects. The available findings do not identify any structural, mechanical, or safety-related damage. A physical inspection should still be completed to verify the body condition and check for repairs not visible in the provided images. The VIN decodes as a 2018 Porsche Panamera sedan, Type 971, with rear-wheel drive, a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, and four seats. The vehicle was manufactured by Dr. Ing. h.c.F. Porsche AG in Germany. NHTSA records identify several recalls associated with 2018 Porsche Panamera models. These include potential loss of electric power-steering assist due to a software issue, an incorrectly soldered electrical control unit that may affect driveability, instrument-cluster software issues that may prevent a worn-brake-pad warning, and a potential electrical short involving the external climate-control coolant pump. A separate front brake-line corrosion recall applies to specified hybrid variants. The recall completion status for this specific vehicle should be confirmed with Porsche using the VIN before purchase.
