2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE

The vehicle is listed with a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGED” designation and an auction primary-damage code of “FRONT END.” These are unverified auction records. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive front-end collision damage supports the “FRONT END” classification, while the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The visible damage is concentrated across the front of the vehicle and appears substantial. The hood’s leading edge is bent upward and uneven, leaving a large irregular gap above the grille. The front bumper cover is severely cracked, displaced, and partially detached, with the corner section separated and lower material hanging outward. The grille is displaced and has broken or missing sections, exposing components behind it. One front headlamp assembly is absent or broken, with wiring, mounting areas, and internal components exposed. The front fender around the wheel arch has pronounced creasing and crushed deformation above and behind the front wheel, with torn and displaced material near the front corner. Lower front bumper and underbody trim are broken and separated, with multiple displaced pieces visible below the grille. Additional broken and displaced plastic components are visible along the front-left perimeter of the engine bay, with open gaps and exposed components behind the damaged fascia. The VIN decodes as a 2021 Hyundai Elantra SE sedan with front-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a continuously variable transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. NHTSA records list recalls affecting this vehicle’s model and year, including front seat-belt pretensioners, windshield bonding, front seat-back recliners, and the rearview camera system. The available information does not confirm whether any of these recalls have been completed. A thorough inspection should include the underlying front-end structure, cooling and mechanical components, lighting, wiring, steering and suspension, safety systems, and proper operation of all affected components before purchase.
