2012 Honda Pilot — how do you set a hard auction bid limit? — second opinion before I spend money

Private-party deals fail on paperwork, not vibes. Bill of sale, VIN, odometer, and names matching the title — I'd want all four on the 2012 Honda Pilot. I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2012 Honda Pilot in Seattle. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. I'll update if anything new shows up.

Walked a dealership this week on the 2012 Honda Pilot and the doc fee was the tell. Sleeping on the number either way.

Don't get cute with the meetup or the payment. If the 2012 Honda Pilot still shows a lien, coordinate payoff with the lender before any cash changes hands. Then you'll know the next fork. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. If the VIN lookup is clean I'm still doing PPI.
