Contact the seller

On every ad you can tap "Request appointment" or open the "Chat with seller". If the store shows its phone, "WhatsApp" also shows. None of them asks you for an account.

Request an appointment

Your details

Tap "Request appointment". In "Who should we reserve it for?" enter your "Name" and your WhatsApp "Phone". Tap "Next".

Time

In "When would you like to come?" choose an available day and time. Business hours are "Mon–Fri 9:00–6:30 pm · Sat 9:00–3:00 pm". If you'd rather, write your preference in "Preferred time or notes".

Confirm

In "Review and confirm", check "I agree to receive appointment confirmations and updates by WhatsApp at the number provided." and tap "Request".

When you're done, you see "Appointment requested" and "We recorded your request and will send appointment updates by WhatsApp." Your number is only used to confirm the appointment.

Times marked as "Booked"

If you choose a time someone else already took, you see "Another customer already booked this time. You are still welcome to come see the car: units are shown first-come, first-served and this one could be reserved or sold before your visit."

Chat with the seller

Open the chat

Tap "Chat with seller". At the top you see «Estás a punto de conversar con» ("You're about to chat with") and who's selling; below, the car with its photo and price. The message is already written: «Hola, me interesa el … ¿Sigue disponible?» ("Hi, I'm interested in the … Is it still available?"). Change it in «Tu mensaje» ("Your message") if you want.

Leave your contact details if you're not signed in

Enter your «Correo» ("Email") and your «WhatsApp». Both are required: that way the seller can reply even if you close the tab.

Choose how to send it

  • «Crear cuenta y enviar» ("Create account and send") is the main button: you create your account and your message is sent as soon as you come back.
  • «Escribir sin cuenta» ("Write without an account") sends the message right away, without signing up.
  • If you already have an account, tap «Iniciar sesión» ("Sign in"), next to «¿Ya tienes cuenta?» ("Already have an account?").

When you're signed in, you only see «Tu mensaje» and the «Enviar mensaje» ("Send message") button.

Inside the chat you see: «No compartas datos bancarios ni pagues por fuera. Cliquéalo no puede validar lo que ocurre fuera de este chat.» ("Don't share bank details or pay outside the platform. Cliquéalo can't validate what happens outside this chat.")

Create account and send

Tap «Crear cuenta y enviar»

While it opens, the button says «Un momento…» ("One moment…"). Your message is saved in this browser.

Create your account

You land on "Create account" with your email already filled in. Complete your details or tap "Continue with Google". If we ask you to confirm your email, follow Verify your email.

You're back in the chat

When you finish, you return to the same ad with the chat open. The button says «Enviando tu mensaje…» ("Sending your message…") and, once it goes through, you see «Tu mensaje se envió.» ("Your message was sent.") with the conversation on screen.

Your message is sent only once: if you reload the page, it isn't sent again. If you take too long to come back, it's no longer sent automatically; write it again in the chat, which opens anyway.

If your browser doesn't allow sites to save data, the button says «Crear cuenta» ("Create account") and below it you see «Al volver con tu cuenta se abre este chat para que envíes tu mensaje.» ("When you come back with your account, this chat opens so you can send your message."). When you come back, write your message and tap «Enviar mensaje».

Sign in

If you already have an account, tap «Iniciar sesión». Your email is already filled in. Once you're in, you return to the ad with the chat open and your message is sent automatically, just like when you create an account.

Write without an account

Tap «Escribir sin cuenta». While it opens, it says «Conectando…» ("Connecting…"), and then you see the conversation.

If the seller replies, «… te respondió» ("… replied to you") appears with the option «Crear cuenta y conservar el chat» ("Create an account and keep the chat"). Without an account, your conversation is kept for 7 days; when you create the account, it's linked to you. You can also tap «Seguir sin cuenta por ahora» ("Continue without an account for now"). With an account, you can also attach files.

The usual case

You create your account and your message goes out on its own

You confirm your email with the code, return to the ad, and see «Tu mensaje se envió.» with the chat open.

Something doesn't work the first time

You confirm your email from another browser

If you open the confirmation link in another app or another browser, the chat opens there without your message. Write it again and tap «Enviar mensaje».

Worst case

The message doesn't go out when you come back

You see the notice and your message stays in «Tu mensaje». Tap «Enviar mensaje» to try again.

Special case

You write many times without an account

You see «Demasiados mensajes en poco tiempo. Crea tu cuenta para continuar la conversación.» ("Too many messages in a short time. Create your account to continue the conversation."). With your account you can keep writing.

Write on WhatsApp

Tap "WhatsApp". WhatsApp opens with the store's number and a message already written that includes the car, the price, and the link to the ad. This button only shows when the store shows its phone. Below the buttons it says who's selling, for example "Sold by …".

The usual case

You request an appointment and it's confirmed

You see "Appointment requested" and you get the confirmation on WhatsApp.

Something doesn't work the first time

There are no online times

You see "No online slots right now. Write your preference in the notes." Write when you can go and send the request.

Worst case

You request too many appointments in a row

You see a notice such as «Demasiadas citas en poco tiempo. Espera 5 min e inténtalo de nuevo.» ("Too many appointments in a short time. Wait 5 min and try again.") and the button shows a countdown in seconds.

Special case

The times don't load

You see "We could not load the schedule. Write your preference in the notes." You can still request the appointment.
