What does the damage type «Side» mean

Side damage occurs in T-bone collisions, impacts with parking barriers, or sideswipes. Structurally, the side of a vehicle is critical for occupant protection, so damage here deserves careful inspection.

What may be damaged

doors, rocker panels, body pillars
side airbags (may have deployed and been quietly replaced)
window regulator mechanisms
wiring routed through sills and pillars

What to keep in mind

cabin sealing issues and water ingress
difficulty opening or closing doors properly
hidden weakening of structural body members

Our advice: Pay close attention to the condition of side airbags and look for any signs of welding on the body pillars.

About this model

2009 Hyundai Sonata

Середньорозмірний седан · generation 2015–2024

Our takeМожна брати, але ТІЛЬКИ якщо в Carfax є запис про engine replacement по recall (Theta II 2.4L). Без цього — пасткa: двигун може встати в будь-який момент. 2.0L Turbo — без проблем з recall.

Strengths

10-річна гарантія на двигун в США — машини з аукціону часто ще в гарантії
Найбільший салон в класі — більше за Camry / Accord
2.4L GDI — простий двигун без турбо

Weaknesses

Theta II 2.4L GDI (2011–2018) — масовий рекол через виробничий дефект (Engine seizure)
Низька залишкова вартість в Україні
