2020 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “rear end” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports visible deformation and separation at the rear trunk lid and bumper, supporting the stated rear-end damage claim; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the available photos. The vehicle has substantial damage at both the front and rear. At the front, the bumper cover is missing and is shown detached on the ground. The front grille and center fascia are also absent, exposing the radiator and condenser area. The left headlamp assembly is displaced outward, with visible gaps and exposed mounting areas. The condition of the exposed components, mounting points, cooling system, lighting system, and any underlying structural or mechanical damage requires physical inspection. At the rear, the trunk lid has a pronounced horizontal crease with raised, uneven deformation along its outer surface and lower edge. The rear bumper cover has large gaps, separated sections, and damage around the left rear corner and lower edge. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2020 Hyundai Elantra sedan with front-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0-liter four-cylinder MPI NU engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. Three NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this model and powertrain: campaign 21V301000 concerns potentially defective piston oil rings that may cause engine damage, stalling, oil leakage, or fire; campaign 19V720000 concerns insufficiently tightened right-rear wheel lug nuts that could allow wheel detachment; and campaign 19V721000 concerns insufficiently tightened lower control-arm ball-joint fasteners that could cause loss of vehicle control. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
