2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Blue

The vehicle is a 2021 Hyundai Elantra sedan with a salvage-title designation. The auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Based on the provided photo assessment, visible front-end damage supports that classification; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The front hood has multiple pronounced creases and folds, and its leading edge is visibly distorted. The front bumper cover, grille assembly, and both headlamp assemblies are missing. This leaves the cooling assembly, wiring, mounting structures, open lamp cavities, and other internal components exposed at the front corners. A washer-fluid reservoir is also visible. The extent of the damage warrants a thorough inspection of the underlying structural, cooling, electrical, restraint, and mechanical systems before purchase. No mechanical or structural condition can be confirmed from the provided findings. Inside, the outer front bolster of the driver’s seat has minor surface abrasion and discoloration. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a South Korea-built, front-wheel-drive 2021 Hyundai Elantra Blue with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a sedan body style. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and a rearview camera. NHTSA records list recalls for this vehicle covering the front seat-belt pretensioners, windshield bonding, front seat-back recliners, and rearview camera. The seat-belt pretensioner recall was expanded and replaced by campaign 22V354000. Recall repairs should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before the vehicle is operated. Additional inspection is recommended to determine whether any recall-related components or safety systems were affected by the front-end damage.
