2016 PORSCHE PANAMERA

The auction record lists this 2016 Porsche Panamera as a salvage vehicle with “REAR END” as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage classification based on the extensive missing and broken rear bumper, lamp, and fascia components. However, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear bumper cover and outer rear fascia are missing, exposing internal rear components, wiring, and exhaust-related parts. Both left and right rear tail-lamp assemblies are also absent, leaving their mounting areas and internal components exposed. The left and right rear corners have broken bumper mounting and trim components, exposed hardware, loose wiring, and detached material. Additional rear exterior panels and trim pieces shown outside the vehicle have cracked, broken, and separated plastic sections. The observed damage is severe overall and appears concentrated at the rear of the vehicle. A thorough inspection is recommended for concealed structural, electrical, exhaust, and mechanical damage, as well as verification of all required replacement parts. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a 2016 Porsche Panamera sedan, VIN WP0AC2A70GL070111. The decoded specifications indicate a 4.8-liter, eight-cylinder gasoline engine with turbocharging, manufactured by Porsche in Leipzig, Germany. Drive type, transmission details, and factory options were not provided. NHTSA records list four recalls applicable to the 2016 Panamera: campaign 19V446000 for possible degradation of the gear-selector cable bushing, which may allow the transmission not to be in Park despite the lever position; campaign 19V533000 concerning a possible air-bag control-unit capacitor fault that could deactivate or inadvertently deploy the airbags; campaign 19V322000 involving possible water entry into the A/C blower control unit, creating a short-circuit and fire risk; and campaign 22V656000 concerning missing headlight adjustment-screw caps that may result in improperly adjusted headlights. Recall completion should be confirmed with Porsche or an authorized dealer using the vehicle identification number before purchase or road use.
