2021 DODGE CHALLENGER R/T

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title and identifies “rear end” as the primary damage. The visible damaged rear bumper, lower valance, and right rear quarter panel support the stated rear-end damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The right rear quarter panel, around the fuel-filler area, has multiple moderate dents and sharp creases extending toward the rear bumper and wheel-arch region. The rear bumper cover has severe damage, including missing or detached sections, open gaps, dark inner areas around both rear corners, extensive white abrasion marks, deep surface damage, and a damaged lower-left corner. The black lower rear valance is broken and separated on the left side, with an irregular opening and displaced material. Several minor light-colored scuff marks are also visible on the front lower bumper cover. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2021 Dodge Challenger R/T with rear-wheel drive, a 5.7-liter gasoline V8, and a reported output of 375 horsepower. It was manufactured by FCA Canada at the Brampton Assembly plant in Canada. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model year: recall 21V664000 concerns insufficient illumination of instrument-cluster safety-system indicators, with instrument-cluster reprogramming specified as the remedy; recall 21V516000 concerns windshield bonding and calls for replacement of the windshield urethane sealant. The completion status of these recalls is not provided and should be verified before purchase. A thorough inspection should also assess the rear body structure, bumper mounting points, lighting, parking and safety systems, fuel-filler area, and alignment behind the visible damage.
