2021 HYUNDAI PALISADE SEL w/ Premium Pkg

The 2021 Hyundai Palisade has severe visible collision damage concentrated at the front end. The front bumper cover, grille, lower fascia, and other front-end body panels are missing, exposing the lighting, radiator/condenser assembly, wiring, mounting areas, and internal components. Broken black plastic fascia pieces are visible around the headlamp area. Large detached bumper and lower underbody components are lying beside the vehicle, with separated edges and broken mounting points. The steering-wheel rim also shows minor surface abrasion and worn finish along the lower-left section. The auction record identifies the vehicle as having a SALVAGE TITLE CERTIFICATE and lists FRONT END as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible missing and broken front-end components support the FRONT END damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos alone. Factory data for VIN KM8R4DHE3MU206457 identifies a 2021 Hyundai Palisade SEL with Premium Package, 4WD, a 3.8-liter gasoline GDI Lambda II engine, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. NHTSA records list six recalls for the 2021 Palisade. These concern potentially contaminated brake fluid that may reduce braking performance; windshield-wiper motor or wiper-arm failure; a tow-hitch harness that may short and cause a fire where applicable; rear seat-belt buckles that may fail to latch; and possible improper deployment of third-row side-curtain airbags. Recall repairs should be verified by VIN with Hyundai or NHTSA, including whether the remedies have been completed. Because the front-end components, radiator/condenser area, wiring, and mounting structures are exposed, a complete physical inspection is recommended before purchase. This should include checking for hidden structural, cooling-system, lighting, wiring, restraint-system, and mechanical damage, as well as confirming the vehicle’s title and recall-repair status.
