2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SE Base

The auction record lists this 2017 Hyundai Elantra as having a Salvage title and “Front End” primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive damage to the hood, front bumper, front fascia, headlamp area, and right front fender supports the stated Front End primary-damage claim. The Salvage title status could not be independently confirmed from exterior photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the front and right-front corner. The hood is heavily buckled, with large irregular dents and deep creases. Its right edge is raised above the fender, creating a substantial uneven gap. The right front fender is creased and deformed around the front edge and upper wheel arch, with torn or displaced material near the headlamp opening. The right front headlamp assembly is missing, leaving an open cavity with internal components visible. The front bumper and fascia are cracked, broken, and incomplete on the right side. Several bumper sections and surrounding trim appear to be missing or displaced, with open gaps and exposed components behind the grille and bumper area. The provided findings document visible exterior damage only; the condition of hidden structural, mechanical, electrical, cooling, steering, and restraint-system components requires physical inspection and testing. The VIN decodes as a South Korea-built 2017 Hyundai Elantra sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 147 horsepower. Listed factory equipment includes ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and side airbags, curtain airbags for both rows, a driver knee airbag, direct tire-pressure monitoring, and a rear visibility system. NHTSA records list four recalls for this model year: campaign 17V213000 concerning possible loss of electric power steering assistance, campaign 16V956000 concerning the driver frontal airbag inflator module, campaign 17V063000 concerning possible loss of power brake assist, and campaign 16V232000 concerning the driver frontal airbag deployment system. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
