2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL

The auction record lists a **Salvage Certificate of Title** and identifies **FRONT END** as the primary damage. The visible front grille, front bumper, left front fender, and left front door damage supports the auction’s unverified FRONT END claim. Salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most significant visible damage is concentrated on the left front side. The left front door is severely crushed and creased, with displaced panel areas, paint abrasion, and additional scuffing along the lower door and rocker-area surfaces. The left exterior mirror assembly is missing, leaving the mounting area and internal components exposed. The left front fender is severely deformed around the wheel arch and behind the headlamp, with open gaps at the adjoining panels. Uneven gaps and separated edges are visible where the fender, bumper, and headlamp meet. The front bumper also has substantial damage. The left corner fascia is broken, separated, and displaced, while the lower bumper edge has a visible horizontal separation. Multiple grille sections are cracked, broken, or absent. At the rear, the lower bumper trim appears separated and protruding near both outer corners, with light scuffing along the trunk-lid lower edge and rear bumper. The provided VIN decodes this vehicle as a 2023 Hyundai Elantra SEL with Convenience Package, a four-door sedan powered by a 2.0-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine and continuously variable transmission. It is front-wheel drive and was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Company in South Korea. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model and year. Recall 22V632000 concerns a driver’s front air-bag cover emblem that may detach during deployment; the remedy is air-bag replacement. Recall 23V526000 concerns the Idle Stop & Go electric oil-pump controller, which may overheat and increase fire risk; the remedy involves inspection and replacement of the controller as necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase. A thorough inspection should also cover the front-end mounting points, lighting, safety systems, steering and suspension components, wheel alignment, wiring, and door and mirror operation.
