2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage certificate of title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the extensive visible damage to the left rear door, quarter panel, wheel arch, and rear body supports the SIDE classification; however, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs alone. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated on the left rear side and rear of the car. The left rear door has a deep dent with multiple sharp creases and displaced lower edges. The adjacent quarter panel and wheel-arch area are heavily crushed and deformed, with inner body surfaces exposed. The left rocker panel below the rear door also shows crushing, creasing, and displaced panel edges. The rear bumper cover is missing or detached, exposing the rear body panel, mounting areas, wiring, and other components. The lower rear body panel has additional dents, creases, and scuffing. Both outer rear lamp assemblies are absent from the vehicle and are shown separately with exposed housings and wiring connections. Replacement of the damaged exterior panels, bumper components, lamps, trim, and associated mounting or wiring parts should be expected. The visible findings do not establish the condition of concealed structural, suspension, wheel, alignment, electrical, or mechanical components, which require physical inspection. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Elantra SEL sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline MPI NU PE engine. The decoded equipment includes standard ABS, electronic stability and traction control, curtain and side airbags for the first and second rows, rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic emergency braking, a rear visibility system, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, and blind-spot monitoring. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model year: campaign 24V308000 concerns a possible electrical short circuit in the exhaust gas recirculation valve assembly that 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 with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase or road use.
