2017 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Base

The vehicle is listed as a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with a salvage title and “FRONT END” as the auction’s primary-damage designation. The visible front bumper and front fender damage supports that stated front-end claim. The salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the provided photos. Visible damage includes a shallow dent in the lower-middle area of the front door, along with a broader shallow dent and crease in the same area. The front bumper cover is separated at the corner beneath the headlamp, leaving an irregular gap and exposing black material behind it. The front fender has an irregular contour and a sharp crease above and behind the front wheel opening. The visible front tire is deflated, with the sidewall compressed against the floor. The condition of concealed structural, suspension, steering, braking, and mechanical components cannot be determined from these findings and should be checked before purchase or operation. According to the VIN decode, this vehicle is a four-wheel-drive SUV equipped with a 2.4-liter gasoline inline four-cylinder engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and approximately 185 horsepower. The decode identifies the model as “Santa Fe,” while the vehicle listing identifies it as “Santa Fe Sport.” The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. Three NHTSA recalls are reported for this 2017 Santa Fe Sport: a secondary hood-latch cable that may corrode and bind, a possible insufficiently tightened driver’s seat-belt anchor bolt, and an ABS-module electrical-short risk that could cause an engine-compartment fire. Recall repairs are described as free through Hyundai dealers. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase, and the vehicle should be parked outdoors and away from structures until the ABS-related recall repair is confirmed complete.
