DealerRiteDealerRite FIELD GUIDE
A stronger vehicle listing checklist
A useful listing answers real questions and matches the vehicle being presented.
Use consistent details
Verify year, make, model, trim, mileage, features, and the listing reference against your records. Correct discrepancies before publication.
Show the actual vehicle
Use clear photographs of the actual vehicle and label any illustrative images. Include relevant condition details rather than hiding them in generic copy.
Review disclosures
Use official requirements and qualified advice for advertising and sale disclosures. The FTC Buyers Guide resource is a starting point for covered used-car sales.
Maintain the listing
Assign an owner to update availability, corrected information, and removed listings. A sold vehicle should not keep generating misleading enquiries.
Keep the conversation grounded.
