Default Advice on selling a car for an estate

I figured I'd tap the CP hive mind for this one.
I've been asked to help sell a vehicle the belonged to my wife's grandfather who passed away.

In the past I did the same for my Father's car, and I knew a guy who bought cars to export to the US, so that was super easy.

I don't want to go through the pain of selling through autotrader or something like that, and I'm looking for anyone on CP who might work for a dealer, or a similar business that I used previously.

I realize I won't necessarily get as good of a price, but I'm looking for a simple solution.

So if anyone here buys cars, or can recommend someone who does I'd appreciate it.

What is the car? Different markets for different generations/models so the more information you can provide someone may be able to assist better.

As the representative of an estate you also have a duty to the beneficiaries to maximize profit on the sale. There are obviously reasonable limits to that duty.

It's a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder.

1) I'm not the executor, so it's not me doing it, I'm just helping out
2) There is no requirement to maximize it at any cost. Getting a reasonable sale price rather than putting in 10x the work to get a marginal better price isn't necessary
