2023 Acura Integra — dealer trade versus instant offer versus private sale

DieselCommuter129Community StarterSep 23, 20252023 Acura Integra A-SpecCentral Jersey
2023 Acura Integra A-Spec, about 28,000 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? I am in Central Jersey.

Title status is the whole conversation. Independent PPI on the 2023 Acura Integra is cheap insurance versus a seller who “already had a friend look at it.” I'd do that before spending real money. This is from a 2023 Acura Integra in Central Jersey with 28,000 miles. 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 2023 Acura Integra 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. Not wiring anything in the meantime.

Quick update: a second 2023 Acura Integra quote made the first offer look ordinary. That's my plan before I call anyone.
