2023 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL w/Convenience Pkg

The vehicle is listed with a salvage title and a “SIDE” primary-damage classification. The available Stage 1 assessment states that the visible evidence supports the SIDE classification, with pronounced damage to both doors, the rear quarter panel, rocker area, and rear bumper corner. The salvage-title status itself cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The visible damage is concentrated on one side of the vehicle. The front door has a pronounced horizontal crease with multiple depressed areas across the middle and lower door skin. The rear door has several large creases and depressed sections extending across its middle and lower areas. The rear quarter panel, particularly around and behind the fuel-filler door, is severely crushed and sharply creased, with irregular panel contours. The rocker-panel area beneath the doors is also deformed and creased. At the rear, the bumper corner has extensive dark scuffing and brown discoloration, along with an uneven gap and irregular contour. The VIN decodes as a 2023 Hyundai Elantra sedan with front-wheel drive, a gasoline 2.0-liter four-cylinder MPI NU PE engine, and the SEL trim with Convenience Package. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama in the United States. Factory-listed equipment includes front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rear visibility system. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 22V632000 concerns a possible issue with the driver’s front-airbag cover emblem, which could detach during deployment. Recall 23V526000 concerns electrical components in the Idle Stop & Go oil-pump controller that may overheat and increase fire risk. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase. Because the damage affects structural-looking exterior areas such as the quarter panel and rocker section, a qualified inspection is recommended to check the underlying body structure, door operation, bumper mounting points, fuel-filler area, suspension, safety systems, and the quality and extent of any repairs not visible in the provided findings.
