2018 HYUNDAI SONATA

The vehicle is a 2018 Hyundai Sonata, identified by VIN 5NPE34AF9JH634967. NHTSA data identifies it as a front-wheel-drive sedan with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine. The auction lists the vehicle as Salvage, with “Left Front” recorded as the primary damage. The visible evidence supports the Left Front damage classification: extensive damage is present throughout the left front corner. The Salvage title status cannot be confirmed or contradicted from exterior photographs alone. The left front fender is severely crushed and folded around the wheel opening, with torn edges and exposed inner areas. The left front bumper cover is severely torn and displaced, with a large open section and portions broken or missing. The lower left bumper grille and trim are also damaged, with broken pieces and visibly absent components. The wheel-well liner is torn, deformed, and hanging outward. The left headlamp lens and housing have multiple cracks and fractured areas. The metal bodywork beside and below the headlamp is sharply folded and deformed, with black components visible behind it. The left front edge of the hood is irregularly deformed near the damaged headlamp and fender. Black and light-colored scuff marks are visible on the damaged bumper and adjacent painted panels. The findings indicate substantial left-front collision damage. The condition of the underlying structure, suspension, steering, cooling components, lighting systems, airbags, and other mechanical or safety-related parts is not established by these findings and should be checked during a physical inspection and repair estimate. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this vehicle: campaign 21V619000, concerning the trunk-lid latch. The latch may become damaged and prevent the trunk from being opened from inside. The recall remedy is replacement of the trunk-latch base by a Hyundai dealer at no charge; recall completion should be verified by VIN before purchase.
