2024 HYUNDAI SONATA SEL w/ Convenience Pkg

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a **CERTIFICATE OF TITLE** condition and identifies **FRONT END** as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports the FRONT END damage classification; however, the certificate-of-title status cannot be confirmed from photographs. The front bumper cover and outer fascia are missing, exposing the bumper reinforcement, radiator area, mounting structures, and wiring. The front grille and lower trim are also absent, leaving internal front-end components exposed. Both headlamp assemblies are missing, with their mounting areas and wiring visible. Both front fender panels are absent, exposing the inner wheel arches and front-corner structures. The hood has a shallow depression near the emblem, with scraped or chipped paint within the affected area. The available findings document substantial front-end collision damage and the absence of several major exterior components. The condition of the exposed radiator, reinforcement, wiring, sensors, cooling system, structural components, steering and suspension parts, and powertrain cannot be determined from these findings. A comprehensive inspection is recommended before purchase, including checks for hidden structural damage, proper replacement and calibration of lighting and driver-assistance systems, and verification that all removed components can be correctly restored. VIN decoding identifies this vehicle as a 2024 Hyundai Sonata sedan manufactured by Hyundai Motor Co. in South Korea. It is equipped with a 2.5-liter gasoline GDI THETA III engine and is listed as the SEL with Convenience Package trim. Factory-listed equipment includes LED low-beam headlamps, adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and pedestrian automatic emergency braking. The operation and condition of these systems cannot be confirmed, particularly given the missing front lighting and front-end components. One NHTSA safety recall is listed for this model year: campaign **24V583000**, concerning brake-light software that may cause the brake lights to flash or fail to illuminate properly. The stated remedy is a free software update through a dealer or over the air. Recall completion should be verified by VIN before the vehicle is placed into service.
