2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title condition with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated front-end damage claim: the front bumper cover, grille, and both headlamp assemblies are missing, and the front body panels are visibly deformed. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photos. The front bumper cover and grille are absent, exposing the front reinforcement and cooling components, including the radiator and condenser area. Both front headlamp assemblies are missing, leaving open mounting areas at both front corners. The driver-side front fender has moderate deformation and creasing around the headlamp opening and wheel arch, with exposed and chipped paint. The passenger-side front fender has an irregular leading edge and visible deformation around the missing headlamp area. The hood has an uneven front edge and creasing at the driver-side front corner. White paint transfer, linear scuffing, and areas of red paint loss are visible along the lower driver-side front and rear doors and the adjacent rocker area.
