2024 HYUNDAI SANTA FE Limited

This 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe is listed with a certificate of salvage title. The auction’s unverified primary-damage classification is “FRONT END.” Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this claim, citing severe damage at the front-right corner, including a crushed fender, missing headlamp assembly, and torn/displaced bumper cover. The front-right fender is severely crushed and folded around the wheel opening, with inner components and wiring exposed. The front-right headlamp assembly is missing, leaving its mounting area and wiring exposed. The front bumper cover is severely cracked, torn, displaced, and separated at the right corner, with part of the cover hanging away from the vehicle and internal components visible through the opening. The hood has moderate creasing and deformation at its front-right edge adjacent to the damaged fender. Overall, the front-right corner and lower front fascia have an open damaged area with missing exterior material and exposed internal components. The available findings document exterior and visible front-end damage only. They do not establish the condition of the underlying frame, suspension, steering, cooling system, restraint systems, drivetrain, or other components. A thorough physical inspection, including wiring, sensors, headlamp systems, alignment, structural mounting points, and diagnostic scans, is recommended before purchase or repair.
