2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL FWD
Verdict #1216 · 118,320 miles · VIN KM8R34HE0LU120105 · Stock #120105 BUY
“2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL at $17,367 — near the bottom of the high-mile band.”
Pros
- Near the bottom of the market: comparable 118k–121k-mile SELs ask $16,995–$19,998.
- Palisade SEL is loaded: 8-passenger, blind-spot, CarPlay, power driver seat, roof rails.
- The 3.8L V6 is a proven, non-turbo workhorse — simple and durable.
- Huge value per dollar in 3-row space; Palisades are IIHS Top Safety Picks.
Cons
- 118,320 miles is genuinely high — this is a high-mileage vehicle, priced like one.
- FWD only — Indiana winters argue for AWD; budget for good tires.
- High-mile examples demand full service records; the transmission service interval matters here.
- Cosmetic and suspension wear are likely at this mileage — inspect carefully.
Analysis
The 2020 Palisade SEL with 118,320 miles at $17,367 sits at the low end of the high-mile market: CarGurus comps show $18,830 at 118,531 miles, $16,995 at 118,281 miles, and $19,998 at 120,919 miles. You’re paying roughly $1,000–$2,500 less than comparable listings for a 3-row SUV that was a class leader when new. The trade-off is honest: 118k miles means worn items, and FWD is the less desirable drivetrain in this region. But the 3.8L V6 has no turbo complexity to fail, and the Palisade’s cabin and safety equipment embarrass pricier rivals. Get the service history and a thorough inspection — if the maintenance story checks out, this is real value.
