2018 PORSCHE PANAMERA Base / 4

This 2018 Porsche Panamera is listed with a salvage certificate of title. The auction’s primary damage classification is “UNDERCARRIAGE,” which is an unverified auction claim. Stage 1 reports that undercarriage damage cannot be confirmed or ruled out from the provided photos and requires a physical inspection. No additional damage findings were supplied. However, the instrument cluster reportedly displays an “Electric parking brake error” message indicating that the status is temporary. The electric parking brake system should be diagnosed and verified before purchase. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a left-hand-drive, rear-wheel-drive Panamera sedan built in Germany. It has a 3.0-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine, automatic transmission, four doors, and seating for four. The decoded vehicle information identifies it as the base Panamera/Type 971. NHTSA records show several recalls associated with 2018 Panamera vehicles. Campaign 18V898000 concerns a possible intermittent loss of electric power-steering assist due to a software failure. Campaign 19V180000 concerns incorrectly soldered control units that may intermittently affect vehicle systems and driveability. Campaigns 19V115000 and 19V735000 concern the instrument cluster failing to display a brake-pad wear warning; 19V735000 supersedes the earlier campaign. Campaign 23V033000 concerns possible electrical short-circuit and fire risk involving the external climate-control coolant pump. Campaign 18V841000 concerns front brake-line corrosion, but it applies to specified hybrid variants. Applicability and completion status should be confirmed with Porsche using the VIN, particularly because some listed campaigns cover only specific Panamera trims or powertrains. The salvage title, the unverified undercarriage-damage classification, and the temporary electric parking-brake error make a thorough physical inspection and diagnostic scan essential before purchase.
