The vehicle is listed by the auction as having a “CERT OF TITLE-SALVAGE VEHICLE” condition and a primary damage code of “SIDE.” Stage 1 reports that the visible extensive damage to the left side supports the SIDE classification, although substantial front-end damage is also visible. Stage 1 also states that the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from photos. The vehicle has severe collision damage across the front and left side. The hood is heavily deformed at the front-left corner and does not sit flush with the adjacent fender and headlamp area. The front bumper cover is broken, with missing sections across the lower front and front-left corner. Lower grille and under-bumper trim components are absent or detached, leaving open areas, exposed mounting points, and visible internal components. The front-left headlamp assembly is missing. The left front fender is heavily creased around the wheel arch and front door edge, with sections of wheel-arch trim missing. The left front door has extensive deep creasing, sharp folds, and displaced areas, including along its lower edge. Damage extends through the left front fender, front door, and lower rocker-side area. The left exterior mirror housing is broken or missing, exposing internal components and mounting structure. The restraint system has also been activated. A curtain airbag is deployed along the right-side roof edge above the front passenger and side-window area, and a side airbag is deployed from the front seat side bolster. The condition of the remaining airbags, seat-belt pretensioners, sensors, wiring, and related safety systems cannot be determined from the supplied findings.
