2021 HYUNDAI PALISADE Calligraphy

The auction lists the vehicle with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and identifies FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible front-end damage supports the stated FRONT END claim; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status itself cannot be confirmed from photographs. The most significant visible damage is concentrated at the front left corner. The outer front left fender is missing, exposing the inner wheel-well area and brake components. The front left wheel and tire assembly are also absent, leaving the brake rotor and caliper exposed. The wheel-well liner and surrounding splash-shield material are missing. The front left bumper corner is separated from the adjacent body panels, with visible open gaps. The lower front bumper and air-intake area have missing or displaced trim, and a large black lower bumper/undertray panel is detached and hanging beneath the front of the vehicle. The available findings do not establish the condition of the suspension, steering, drivetrain, braking hydraulics, or other components behind the visible damage; these areas require a thorough physical inspection before repair or road use. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2021 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy SUV, manufactured in South Korea. It is specified with four-wheel drive, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, an eight-speed automatic transmission, 20-inch front and rear wheels, and seating for seven occupants.
