2025 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SEL

The vehicle is a 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL, VIN 5NMP2DGL7SH137746. NHTSA data identifies it as a gasoline-powered SUV with a turbocharged 2.5-liter T-GDI Theta III engine, 4WD, and U.S. manufacture at Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama. The auction lists the vehicle as “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE” with “FRONT END” as the primary damage. Visible evidence supports the front-end damage classification through the extensive absence of front-end components; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover, both headlamp assemblies, and the front grille and center fascia components are missing. Their removal leaves front-end components, mounting areas, and wiring exposed. The outer fender sections around both the left and right front wheel arches are also absent, exposing fasteners and inner wheel-well areas. A thin, light-colored linear scuff is visible along the lower side bodywork near the front and rear doors. No other findings were provided. The exposed front-end structure, wiring, mounting points, lighting systems, cooling components, driver-assistance sensors, and related mechanical parts should be physically inspected before purchase. Replacement parts, hidden structural damage, alignment, and system-calibration requirements may substantially affect the repair cost. The vehicle should not be considered roadworthy until all necessary repairs and safety checks are completed. NHTSA records list recalls for certain 2025 Santa Fe vehicles involving engine connecting-rod bolts (campaign 25V549000), the starter-motor positive-terminal cover (25V659000), the rearview-camera wiring harness (25V808000), side-curtain air-bag installation (25V809000), and front seat-belt anchors (26V218000). VIN-specific applicability and completion should be confirmed with Hyundai or through NHTSA before purchase.
