2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA Blue

This 2023 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a salvage title certificate and a “REAR END” primary-damage designation. The visible evidence supports the rear-end damage claim: the trunk, rear body panels, rear bumper, and rear corner areas are severely damaged. Substantial additional damage is also visible at the front end and along the left side. The front bumper, grille, and lower fascia are missing, exposing the reinforcement, radiator, condenser, and other internal components. The hood is deformed along its front edge, while the front fenders and bumper corners are crushed and irregular. Both visible headlamp areas show broken or displaced outer sections and uneven gaps. The left front fender is severely crushed around the wheel arch. Both left-side doors have broad dents, sharp creases, and paint scuffing, with additional damage to the left rocker panel. The left rear quarter panel is deeply crushed and folded around the wheel arch, with torn and irregular metal and exposed inner areas. The rear damage is extensive. The trunk lid is severely bent and distorted, and the trunk opening and rear body panel are buckled and displaced with large uneven gaps. The rear bumper cover is torn, detached, and partially hanging away from the vehicle. The right rear quarter, rear corner, and trunk-corner areas are severely crushed and folded, and the right rear lamp area is displaced by the surrounding body deformation. The VIN decodes as a 2023 Hyundai Elantra Blue sedan with front-wheel drive, a 1.6-liter gasoline engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. Two NHTSA safety recalls are listed for this make, model, and year. Recall 22V632000 concerns the driver’s front air-bag cover emblem, which may detach during deployment; the remedy is replacement of the air bag. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase the risk of a vehicle fire; the remedy involves inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase. Given the extent of the visible collision damage, a full structural, mechanical, restraint-system, cooling-system, lighting, and electronic inspection will be required before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy.
