2021 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL w/ Convenience Pkg

This 2021 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a salvage certificate and “REAR END” as the auction’s primary-damage designation. The auction designations are unverified records. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the rear-end damage claim through extensive crushing, missing rear components, shattered rear glass, and exposed rear bodywork. Stage 1 also states that the salvage-certificate status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The rear body and right rear quarter area have severe deformation, with heavily crushed and folded metal extending into the quarter panel, wheel-arch area, and rear corner. The rear bumper cover and trunk lid are missing, leaving the bumper reinforcement, trunk compartment, inner rear panels, wiring, and other components exposed. The rear windshield is shattered, with jagged glass remnants around the opening. The left rear lamp assembly and surrounding lighting area are severely damaged, with missing outer sections, exposed internal components, and detached or exposed wiring. The rear bumper reinforcement and lower rear body components are displaced and visibly deformed. The rear trunk aperture contains buckled and torn metal panels, displaced trim, and exposed components. The rear spoiler is separated from its normal position and appears broken or detached. The VIN decodes this vehicle as a U.S.-built, left-hand-drive, front-wheel-drive sedan with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, identified as the SEL with Convenience Package trim. Factory-listed safety equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, electronic stability control, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assistance, forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, and a rear visibility system. NHTSA records list recalls concerning the front seat-belt pretensioners, front windshield bonding, front seat-back recliners, and the rearview camera. The seat-belt pretensioner recall was subsequently expanded and replaced by recall 22V354000. Recall completion status is not provided and should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer using the VIN. Because of the extensive rear deformation and exposed structural, lighting, wiring, and trunk-area components, the vehicle requires a comprehensive inspection before purchase. This should include structural measurements, inspection of the rear floor and inner body, electrical and restraint-system checks, glass and water-intrusion assessment, and verification that all applicable recalls and repairs have been completed.
