2024 HYUNDAI ELANTRA SEL w/ Convenience Pkg

The vehicle is a 2024 Hyundai Elantra sedan, VIN KMHLS4DG4RU648531, equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine. The VIN data identifies the vehicle as built by Hyundai Motor Co. in Ulsan, South Korea, with the SEL trim and Convenience Package. The auction record lists the vehicle’s condition as **SALVAGE TITLE** and the primary damage as **REAR END**. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear-end damage supports the stated “REAR END” primary-damage claim. However, Stage 1 also notes that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from exterior photographs. The rear of the vehicle has extensive, severe collision damage. Both the left and right rear quarter panels are sharply creased and deformed around the tail lamps and trunk opening. The trunk lid has large creases across its lower section, with a distorted lower edge. The metal and panel surfaces surrounding the trunk aperture are buckled and irregularly deformed. The rear bumper is severely damaged across its width. The left side is torn, displaced, and exposing dark underlying components, while the right side has separated plastic sections and exposed components. The lower bumper cover is torn and partially missing, with internal components and mounting hardware visible. Additional broken or detached black exterior pieces are reported on the ground beside the vehicle. Because the damage affects both rear quarter panels, the trunk lid, the trunk aperture, the rear panel, and bumper mounting areas, a thorough physical inspection is required to assess alignment, structural condition, the trunk opening and latch area, lighting and safety-system components, and any damage not visible in the provided findings. Repairs are likely to require substantial body, panel, bumper, and exterior-component replacement or restoration. One official NHTSA recall is listed for 2024 Hyundai Elantra vehicles: campaign **24V308000**, concerning a possible electrical short in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) 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 with Hyundai or an authorized dealer for this vehicle.
