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.

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.

  • Use the used car buyer checklist.
