2021 Hyundai Palisade — dealer trade versus instant offer versus private sale

QuietDaily835Community StarterJan 10, 20262021 Hyundai Palisade LimitedHouston
2021 Hyundai Palisade Limited, about 70,500 miles. I am selling a clean late-model car and have three options: trade it, take an instant cash offer, or list privately. How do you decide when the extra private-party money is worth the time and risk?

Title status is the whole conversation. If the 2021 Hyundai Palisade still shows a lien, coordinate payoff with the lender before any cash changes hands. Then you'll know the next fork. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.

Don't get cute with the meetup or the payment. If the 2021 Hyundai Palisade still shows a lien, coordinate payoff with the lender before any cash changes hands. That's where I'd start. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. If the title is messy I'm out, full stop.
