2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL w/ Convenience Pkg

The 2024 Hyundai Elantra is listed with a Certificate of Salvage, and the auction’s primary-damage code is “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive left-side collision damage supports the “SIDE” classification; however, the Certificate of Salvage status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The left front door has severe, full-height crushing, with deep creases, sharp folds, torn-looking deformation, and displaced metal around the door edges. The left rear door is also severely deformed, particularly toward its front and lower sections. The left rocker panel or side sill beneath the doors shows pronounced crushing and irregularly folded metal, indicating substantial damage to the visible lower side structure. The left exterior side mirror is missing, and the left front door window has no intact glazing. Glass fragments are visible throughout the front cabin, including the driver-side floor and seat area, as well as around the front passenger area. Additional fragments are present on the rear seat and rear floor. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the steering-wheel airbag, front-seat airbags, left-side airbags, and curtain airbags extending along the left roofline and above the rear passenger compartment. Replacement of the deployed restraint-system components and a complete inspection of related sensors, wiring, seat belts, and structural areas will be required. The extent of the visible side and rocker-panel damage also warrants a thorough inspection of the body structure, door operation, and adjacent mechanical and electrical components. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a South Korea-built 2024 Hyundai Elantra sedan with a gasoline 2.0-liter MPI NU PE engine. The decoded trim is SEL with Convenience Package. Factory-listed equipment includes front and rear curtain and side airbags, driver and passenger front airbags, ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assistance, rear cross-traffic alert, and other driver-assistance systems. The availability or operating condition of these systems after the collision has not been established. One NHTSA safety recall is recorded for this vehicle make, model, and year: campaign 24V308000, involving a possible electrical short 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 before purchase or road use.
