2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction lists this 2024 Hyundai Elantra as a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE VEHICLE,” with “REAR END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the stated rear-end claim through extensive crushing and disassembly at the rear of the vehicle; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The rear damage is extensive. The rear-right corner and trunk area are severely crushed, with torn sheet metal, large irregular gaps, and exposed internal components. The trunk lid and upper rear panel are heavily buckled and displaced upward. The rear bumper and lower fascia are extensively crushed, torn, and separated, with missing sections and exposed components. On the left side, the rear door has severe dents and deep creases, while the rear-left quarter panel is crushed and torn around the tail-lamp opening. The left-rear tail lamp is cracked or broken, displaced from its opening, and surrounded by damaged trim and sheet metal. The front end also has substantial collision damage. Both headlamp areas are severely damaged: the front-left lamp assembly is broken with missing sections and exposed internal components, while the front-right area has displaced components and an open gap around the lamp and bumper. The front bumper cover is fragmented or displaced on both sides, with detached or missing lower-grille and trim sections. The front-left fender and bumper junction has broken and displaced blue body-panel edges, and the front-right hood edge has a visible crease and deformation. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a South Korean-built 2024 Hyundai Elantra sedan, SEL trim, with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and LED low-beam headlamps. The findings do not establish the operating condition of these systems or any underlying structural, mechanical, electrical, restraint-system, or cooling-system damage. One NHTSA recall is listed for this vehicle model and year: campaign 24V308000 concerns a possible electrical short in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly that may cause loss of drive power. Hyundai’s stated remedy is replacement of the EGR valve assembly at no charge. Recall completion should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase or operation.
