2017 ACURA ILX

The vehicle is a 2017 Acura ILX with a salvage certificate of title. The auction lists the primary damage as “REAR END.” Stage 1 reports that visible substantial rear-end damage supports this stated primary-damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, inner body panels, wiring, and mounting areas. The left outer rear tail lamp assembly is also absent, leaving its mounting cavity and wiring exposed. Both rear corners and the adjacent body panels are visibly deformed, with displaced edges and exposed inner structures. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-arch area show pronounced creasing, buckling, and crushed sheet metal. Similar deep creasing and buckling are present on the right rear quarter panel behind the wheel arch. Exterior trim and bumper-cover material are missing from the right rear corner, while a large lower rear trim panel is hanging down and separated from its normal position. A small light-colored scuff or abrasion is visible on the right side of the black leather rear-seat cushion. The VIN decodes as a U.S.-built four-door sedan with a 2.4-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine, an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, and 4x2 drive. The decoded trim is listed as Premium Package/Technology Plus Package. NHTSA records list recalls concerning the fuel tank and fuel gauge, driveshaft and half-shaft engagement, fuel-pump failure, and the brake master cylinder. Recall completion and applicability to this specific vehicle should be verified by VIN with Acura or NHTSA before purchase. Given the extent of the rear structural and body-panel damage, a comprehensive inspection should include the rear body structure, wiring, lighting, suspension, wheel alignment, safety systems, and drivability before any repair or road-use decision.
