2023 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate T-GDI with front and rear damage – repairable salvage

Description

So, I’ve got a 2023 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate with the T-GDI engine. It’s been through a bit of damage on both the front and rear ends — nothing too catastrophic, but it’s definitely not in perfect shape. Starts up and runs fine, which is good to know if you're just looking for something that can actually move.

It’s been through an insurance claim, so it’s a salvage vehicle — that means it’s not road-ready yet. You’ll need to get it fully repaired before using it on public roads. A new MOT will be needed after any work is done. I’ve seen a few of these on HPI, and some show clear at the time of check, but remember — HPI will eventually record it, so don’t rely on that.

I’ve had a few people come in and check it out, and it’s the kind of thing that’s better seen in person. If you’re thinking about buying it, I’d really recommend bringing your own mechanic or a vehicle engineer to take a look. There’s no warranty here — it’s exactly as it appears.

I’m based in Delabole, Cornwall, so if you're coming out to check it out, just give me a call. I’ll get you sorted. The office is open 9am to 4pm, seven days a week (Sundays need an appointment).

If you’re interested, you can call Shaun or Dave directly — I’ll send over the details when you get in touch.

The price is £8,995.50, but that’s not what I’m putting in the title. I’m not selling it for a lot — just giving it a fair go at being a practical option for someone who’s looking for a car that’s still running, even if it’s not brand new.

All payments can be done via debit card, bank transfer, or cash — just let me know how you’d like to pay. Cash is a bit of a hassle, so I’d suggest bank transfer if you can. If you go with cash, there’s a 2% handling fee, so I’ll let you know that when you talk to me.

Deposits aren’t refundable — that’s standard for salvage cars, so I just want to be clear about that.

If you don’t pick it up by the agreed date, I’m free to re-sell it. I don’t want to hold it forever.

It’s not going on the road until it’s fully repaired and meets all the legal standards. So, no shortcuts here.

I’ve been around the block with these kinds of vehicles, and I know how tricky it can be to trust online descriptions. That’s why I’m saying this: come see it. Don’t just go on what’s in the photos. The real thing is always better than the screen.

Let me know if you want to check it out — I’ll get you in.
