2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

This 2024 Hyundai Elantra is recorded with a salvage certificate indicating less than 75% damage, with “FRONT END” listed as the auction’s primary damage classification. The visible evidence supports the front-end classification: the front fender and adjacent rocker panel are visibly deformed. The photos reportedly show localized front and rear exterior damage with most of the vehicle intact, consistent with damage under 75% rather than 75% or more. The front fender adjacent to the visible front wheel has pronounced creasing and severe deformation around the wheel opening and rear lower edge. Behind the front wheel, the lower rocker panel or side sill shows moderate compression, creasing, and surface scuffing near the front door seam. At the rear, a substantial section of the bumper cover is missing from the corner shown, exposing the internal bumper mounting area and adjacent components. The adjacent rear quarter panel has moderate denting and irregular creasing along its edge and surrounding body surface. The VIN identifies the vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra sedan, SEL trim, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in Ulsan, South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, curtain and side airbags for the first and second rows, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: campaign 24V308000 concerns a possible electrical short circuit in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly, which may cause loss of drive power. The stated remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly by a Hyundai dealer at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer. The documented findings are exterior collision damage. A complete inspection should confirm the condition of the underlying mounting points, structural components, lighting, wheel and suspension areas, safety systems, and any wiring or mechanical components affected by the impact.
