2012 Hyundai Elantra GLS

Owners selling privately get 8% to 18% less than dealers ask for the same trim, year and mileage. The low end is how the big pricing guides value a private sale (what buyers pay dealers, less a private-party discount); the high end is what private sellers’ asking prices and private-party sales show. A trade-in usually fetches less still.

Median of 27 asking prices of this trim & year, adjusted to 286k km ($3,667 across Canada).
