AI: Not to repair — structural damage2 things unclear — to be checked AI · 2026-09-09 00:11

Left rear quarter panel at the wheel arch is not only pressed in but also torn: metal folded in sharp creases, paint cracked down to bare metal, arch lip torn off at the bumper joint. This is a welded body part — a new quarter would have to be cut out and welded in, with paint blending into the roof and doors. Additionally the auction sheet states "Suspension" damage, and there are no photos of the left rear running gear (17 shows the front), and a Check Control warning triangle is lit on the instrument cluster. Body geometry looks untouched, interior and airbags are in order, but repairing a welded quarter on a new car with such unclear running gear does not pay off.

  • ✓ 14 — left side in profile: damage only behind the rear wheel, doors, sill and roofline straight, gaps uniform
  • ✓ 05, 08 — interior untouched, airbags not deployed, mileage 09 169 miles (~14 756 km), glass intact
  • ✓ 10 — engine bay and front end undamaged, radiator pack in place
