2016 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

The vehicle is listed by the auction as Salvage, with Front End recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim through extensive hood, bumper, headlamp, and front-corner damage. The same assessment also identifies substantial additional damage to the vehicle’s left side, windshield, and rear. The front end has severe damage concentrated at the front-right corner and lower front section. Multiple plastic and metal components are broken, torn, and displaced, with wiring and internal components exposed. The front bumper cover and grille are missing, leaving the radiator, condenser, bumper reinforcement, mounting hardware, and other internal components exposed. The left headlamp assembly is absent, and the front-right fender and adjacent bumper area are heavily deformed. The hood has deep creases, crushed sections, torn edges, and substantial deformation, mainly on the front-right side. Significant damage is also visible along the vehicle’s left side. The left front fender and front door have sharp creases, crushed sections, and torn panel edges. The rocker area beneath the front door is deformed and crushed. The left rear quarter panel and wheel-opening area are severely crushed and torn, with exposed metal and displaced trim. The left front wheel-arch trim and adjacent panels are broken and separated from the body. The windshield has extensive radiating cracks and shattered glass near the upper left side, while the metal and trim around the left A-pillar and front corner are visibly crushed, folded, and torn. At the rear, the bumper cover is missing, exposing the reinforcement, mounting hardware, and internal bumper components. The left rear lamp assembly is displaced, with damaged surrounding quarter-panel material and exposed mounting areas. Detached front and rear bumper pieces, grille sections, and other exterior trim are shown separately; several have broken edges, cracks, and scrape marks. The VIN decodes as a 2016 Hyundai Elantra sedan equipped with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine using dual overhead camshafts and multipoint fuel injection. It was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. The decoded trim information lists SE, Value Edition, or Limited; the exact trim is not established by the supplied data. NHTSA records list two recalls for 2015–2016 Hyundai Elantra vehicles. Campaign 24V146000 concerns the trunk-latch base, which may prevent the trunk from being opened from inside; the listed remedy is replacement of the latch base sub-assembly. Campaign 26V307000 concerns the driver-side frontal air-bag inflator, which may rupture during deployment; inspection and replacement are the listed remedies as necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or NHTSA using the VIN. The supplied findings document extensive collision damage across the front, left side, windshield, and rear. They do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, suspension, steering, cooling-system functionality, air-bag system, electrical systems, or underlying body structure beyond the visible deformation described above. A comprehensive physical inspection and repair estimate would be required before purchase.
