2019 LEXUS ES 350

The auction record lists a **SALVAGE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE** and identifies **FRONT END** as the primary damage classification. These are auction designations and should be verified through the vehicle’s title and inspection history. Stage 1’s assessment reports that the visible severe front-end damage supports the auction’s unverified FRONT END code; the salvage certificate itself cannot be confirmed or contradicted from vehicle photographs alone. The front end is extensively damaged and partially dismantled. The hood is substantially raised and buckled along the front edge and right-front area. The front bumper cover, grille, center trim, and large sections of the lower splash shield are missing or detached. Both headlamp areas have broken surrounding components, exposed internal parts, and damaged or incomplete lamp housings. The left and right front corners show broken or missing fascia, lamp surrounds, fender-edge trim, and lower components, with exposed mounting points and wiring. Both front fender leading edges also have displaced or broken trim and irregular damage adjacent to the headlamps. The front engine-bay edge is visibly disassembled, with the radiator and condenser surfaces exposed, loose brackets present, and wiring separated. The supplied findings do not establish the condition of the engine, cooling system, steering, suspension, or other mechanical and structural components. A comprehensive physical inspection and functional testing will be required. The interior also has substantial damage or disassembly. A large painted body panel is loose inside the rear passenger compartment, with torn edges, fractured trim, and exposed attachment areas. Rear seat-area trim and components are broken or displaced. Multiple center-console and dashboard trim pieces are detached and piled in the front passenger area, while large panels and trim pieces are lying in both front footwells and across the front passenger seat. Loose debris and fragments are visible on the seat and floor. The VIN decodes as a 2019 Lexus ES sedan, specifically the ES 350 trim, with front-wheel drive/4x2, a 3.5-liter gasoline V6 engine rated at 301 horsepower, and an automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, in the United States. Factory-listed equipment includes curtain, front, side, and knee airbags, as well as forward-collision warning, pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and a rear visibility system. The operational condition of these systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings. NHTSA recall **19V288000** applies to certain 2019 Lexus ES vehicles. The recall concerns the driver knee airbag assembly, which may have been improperly installed and could affect deployment in a crash. Toyota’s stated remedy is inspection and replacement of the assembly if necessary. Recall completion should be verified with Toyota or an authorized Lexus dealer.
