2023 Hyundai Elantra SEL

Owners selling privately get 8% to 17% 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.

Priced as SEL: 793 of the 793 cars we’ve seen with this VIN pattern are. Median of 279 final asking prices of this trim & year (listings that ended), adjusted to 54k mi ($18,314 nationally), its history (1 accident −1.6%) and where it is (Texas +2.0%).

Accident, owner and title flags as reported in listings — not a full vehicle history report.
