2025 HYUNDAI PALISADE SEL

The auction record identifies the vehicle as a 2025 Hyundai Palisade with a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” condition and “REAR END” as the primary damage code. The extensive visible rear-end damage supports the stated REAR END classification. However, salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The rear liftgate window glass is missing, leaving an open aperture with jagged glass remnants around the edges. The liftgate is severely crushed and deeply deformed through the center and right side, including the license-plate recess and lower panel. The rear bumper cover is broken and partially missing on the right, exposing underlying components and detached pieces. The rear quarter and corner panels are heavily creased around the tail lamps and bumper opening. The right rear taillamp area is displaced and damaged, with irregular gaps and exposed mounting or internal areas. The vehicle identification data decodes this vehicle as a 2025 Hyundai Palisade SEL sport utility vehicle, manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is listed with a gasoline 3.8-liter GDI Lambda II engine and 4x2 drive. The VIN data also lists standard features including ABS, electronic stability control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear visibility, and curtain airbags for the first, second, and third rows. Three NHTSA recalls are listed for this model year. Recall 25V291000 concerns a potential electric oil pump controller short that may cause a fire; the remedy is replacement of the controller, and owners were advised to park outdoors away from structures until completion. Recall 25V607000 concerns rear seat-belt buckles that may fail to latch; the remedy is replacement of the affected buckle assemblies. Recall 26V034000 concerns possible improper deployment of the third-row side curtain airbags; the remedy involves installing protective film over the rear window and removing padding as necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Hyundai or NHTSA using the vehicle identification number before purchase.
