2021 LEXUS NX 300 300 Comfort

The vehicle is a 2021 Lexus NX 300 with a salvage title designation (“CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE”). The auction’s primary-damage classification is FRONT END. Stage 1 reports that the visible evidence supports this classification, citing substantial damage to the front bumper, grille, headlamp, hood, and front fender. The front-end damage is extensive. The left side of the front bumper cover is torn and displaced, with hanging sections and exposed internal components. The lower front fascia and underbody panel are also detached or hanging, with open gaps behind the bumper. The left grille is cracked and separated from the surrounding trim, while the left headlamp has a broken or missing outer lens and exposed internal components. The hood is creased and deformed along its front portion and left edge, with an uneven gap above the damaged corner. The left front fender is severely crushed around the wheel arch, with damaged or displaced trim and exposed areas at its front edge. Both visible left-side doors have pronounced horizontal dents and creases, along with paint scuffs and scratches. The left rocker panel is deformed and extensively scraped. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the steering-wheel and passenger-side dashboard airbags, additional material near the lower driver’s side, and the curtain airbags along the roof and side-window areas. The restraint system will require comprehensive inspection and replacement of affected components. Minor scuffing is also visible on both lower rear bumper corners. Mechanical, structural, suspension, steering, electrical, and cooling-system condition cannot be established from the listed findings and should be thoroughly inspected before purchase. Repairs are likely to involve major body, lighting, airbag, trim, and possibly structural or mechanical components. The VIN decode identifies the vehicle as a Japan-built Lexus NX SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine (engine code 8AR-FTS), and a listed output of 235 horsepower. Factory safety equipment includes front, side, knee, and curtain airbags, along with electronic stability control and several driver-assistance systems; the operational condition of these systems after the collision is unknown.
