Messages and contacting sellers

How you contact a seller depends on the listing type.

Listings posted on AutoLista

1. Open the vehicle detail page.
2. Tap Send message (or chat icon).
3. If you are not signed in, the app will prompt you to log in or register.
4. Write your question — availability, visit, negotiation.
5. Continue the thread in the Messages tab.

You will get reply notifications based on your settings (see account and notifications).

Aggregated listings (dealers / portals)

These show buttons like View on Encuentra24, View on dealer site, etc. The button opens the original listing in a new tab; contact happens on that site, not via AutoLista chat.

Read aggregated listings for details.

Best practices

• Ask about marchamo, RTV, transfer, and history before visiting.
• Avoid deposits without seeing the vehicle and documents.
• Use the used car buyer checklist.

Does the seller see my email?

Chat stays inside AutoLista; avoid sharing sensitive data until you trust the other party.
