Add a Vehicle Description

Writing a detailed description can help highlight your vehicle’s features and improve listing engagement.

  1. On the Vehicle Info tab, look for the Description option.
  2. Use the description builder to select keywords or type your own description.
  3. Highlight features like backup cameras, heated seats, or one-owner history—these help attract buyers.

Customers engage differently—some look at photos, some read text, others watch video. Providing clear, detailed descriptions ensures you're communicating with every type of buyer. The more information you include, the more confident and interested buyers will be.
