2024 HYUNDAI PALISADE

This 2024 Hyundai Palisade is listed by the auction with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE designation and FRONT END as the primary damage code. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END code through extensive damage at the front-left corner, while the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The vehicle has severe collision damage concentrated at the front-left corner. The front-left fender and headlamp assembly are missing, exposing the inner wheel-arch area, wiring, mounting points, and other body components. The front bumper cover is also missing from the left corner, with separated and hanging bumper sections and detached material on the ground. The hood has pronounced upward deformation at its front-left corner with an irregular edge. The lower front fascia is broken and separated, with open gaps and additional detached material below the grille. The available findings document significant exterior and front-end component damage. They do not establish the condition of the engine, transmission, cooling system, steering, suspension, frame structure, restraint systems, electrical systems, or advanced driver-assistance sensors. A comprehensive physical inspection is recommended before purchase, including checks for structural damage, hidden impact damage, wiring and sensor faults, wheel alignment, fluid leaks, airbag deployment, and proper operation after repairs.
