A brand new tag for your brand new vehicle

We’ve made it easy for buyers to find brand new vehicles, and even easier for you to stand out from the crowd. Be relevant to buyers by making buying and selling a great experience.

This new tag is the easiest way for you to spotlight all your brand new vehicles that are in stock. The tag will show up on your listing, making it easy for buyers to identify. When your stock shifts from “in transit” to “in stock”, you’ll get a prominence boost to help you clear stock faster and maintain higher margins.
