2022 HYUNDAI PALISADE Caligraphy

The vehicle is listed by the auction with a salvage certificate of title, with “REAR END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe deformation and separation at the rear liftgate, rear bumper, and left rear quarter area support the stated rear-end primary-damage claim. The salvage-title status cannot be independently confirmed from photos. The rear liftgate has extensive buckling and deep irregular deformation across its lower center section, including the license-plate recess. The rear bumper cover is severely crushed and distorted across its width, with heavy scuffing, multiple creases, separated sections, and exposed mounting areas. The left rear bumper corner is displaced from the body, with an exposed bracket or mounting area, while lower bumper trim is separated and hanging below the vehicle. The left rear quarter panel is moderately creased and deformed around the tail-lamp and bumper junction. The gap at the bumper interface is enlarged and irregular, and the bumper cover is pulled away from the quarter panel with broken or separated lower sections and exposed internal mounting areas. In addition, the hood insulation is torn across the upper center of its underside, with yellow material exposed and several strips hanging down.
