Profit-Sharing is built for sellers who want to maximize proceeds by listing and selling at retail prices; you get an upfront payment and later a final payout when the vehicle sells. An Instant Cash Offer provides a guaranteed same-day payment and is best for sellers who prioritize speed and certainty over maximizing resale value.
