Q: How often are listings updated?
We update our inventory daily, so you'll see any changes quickly, such as a new price or more photos. We also encourage sellers to keep their listings updated by requiring them to renew their ads on a monthly basis. However, we can't guarantee that all vehicles posted on the site are still available for sale.

Q: What if I haven't heard back from the seller?
