KSL Cars: New Profiles, Smarter Buying

Hello KSL Community!

We're excited to announce that the new profile feature, first introduced on KSL Classifieds, is now live on For Sale by Owner car listings. This upgrade brings a new level of transparency and trust to your car buying experience.

Here's how it works:

  • Building Trust Through Profiles:  We know that buying a car from a stranger can feel a bit uncertain.  With profile images now displayed on car listings, you can put a face to the name and get a better sense of who you're dealing with. It's all about building that personal connection and fostering trust from the start.
  • Verified for Your Peace of Mind: At KSL Cars, your safety and security are paramount. Our new verification system ensures that sellers are legitimate and trustworthy. This added layer of protection gives you peace of mind knowing that you're dealing with verified sellers on KSL.com.
  • Empowering Informed Decisions:  We believe in empowering you with the information you need to make the best decision. With our new profiles, you can now view valuable insights about the seller, including their account age, location, and seller type. This knowledge helps you make informed choices and adds another layer of confidence to your car buying journey.

New Feature: Boosts for Classifieds!

Hello KSL Community!

We are thrilled to announce our latest new feature for our Classifieds section - Boosts! That's right, the same boosts that have been helping our car sellers increase their visibility and sell their vehicles faster, are now available for all Classified listings.

We understand that as a seller, getting your listing seen by potential buyers is crucial. That's why we have introduced Boosts in our Classifieds section.

So, what exactly are Boosts? Simply put, they are a way to increase your listing's visibility on KSL. By using Boosts, your listing will be sent to the top of relevant search results, giving it more exposure to potential buyers. This means more views, more leads, and ultimately, a faster selling process.

So how can you easily boost your listing? It's simple! Just go through the regular checkout flow for your Classified listing and select the Boost option (see below). 



Ready to sell faster?  Give your listing a Boost and connect with more buyers today!
