2020 LEXUS NX 300H Comfort

The auction record lists the vehicle as having a salvage title certificate with “REAR END” as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive rear-end damage supports the unverified rear-end damage code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be verified from photographs. The 2020 Lexus NX has severe damage across the rear of the vehicle. Both rear quarter panels are heavily crushed and sharply creased around the wheel arches and rear corners. The wheel-arch moldings are missing on both sides, leaving mounting clips and exposed panel edges visible. The rear body panel and lower rear structure show extensive crushing and deformation across the center and both corners. The rear bumper cover is missing, exposing structural components, mounting points, wiring, and exhaust components. Both rear combination lamp assemblies are absent, with their openings, wiring, and mounting hardware exposed. The rear hatch and upper rear assembly are also heavily bent and creased, with the hatch/spoiler area displaced above the rear opening. Multiple wires and connectors are visibly exposed and hanging across the rear body panel. The VIN decode identifies this vehicle as an all-wheel-drive Lexus NX 300h Comfort SUV, built in Japan by Toyota Motor Corporation at the Tahara plant. It is equipped with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain and a continuously variable transmission. The vehicle is listed with seating for five and standard features including electronic stability control, traction control, forward-collision warning, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and a rear visibility system. The visible damage is extensive and concentrated at the rear. A complete structural, mechanical, electrical, hybrid-system, restraint-system, and water-intrusion inspection is recommended before repair or purchase.
