2025 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL Sport

The vehicle is a 2025 Hyundai Elantra, VIN KMHLM4DG6SU938740, identified by NHTSA data as a sedan with the SEL Sport trim, a 2.0-liter gasoline engine, and South Korean manufacture. The auction record lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage classification. This is an unverified auction designation. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible evidence contradicts the stated front-end classification: the front end appears intact in the available photos, while severe damage is concentrated at the left rear quarter and rear body. The rear trunk lid is severely crushed, buckled, and displaced, with irregular gaps around the trunk opening and deformation across the left and center rear sections. The rear bumper cover is severely torn and detached, particularly on the left side, exposing underlying components. The left rear quarter panel is severely crushed around the taillight and wheel arch. The left rear taillight assembly has broken and displaced lens or housing sections. The rear body panel below the trunk opening is also severely distorted, with uneven surfaces and exposed gaps behind the bumper area. The available findings indicate substantial rear collision damage. The extent of any damage to underlying structural, electrical, or mechanical components is not established by these findings and should be verified through a physical inspection before purchase. Factory safety equipment listed by the VIN decoder includes curtain and side airbags for the first and second rows, standard ABS, electronic stability control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility equipment, and rear automatic emergency braking.
