Listing rules

Last updated: September 27, 2026

Which vehicles are accepted

Cars, SUVs, pickups, vans and motorcycles.
Used and new vehicles, from private sellers and from dealerships.
One listing per vehicle. Duplicates are removed.

What isn't accepted

Vehicles that aren't for sale or that have already been sold.
Listings with false information, altered mileage or a VIN that doesn't match.
Photos that aren't of the actual vehicle, or images taken from the internet.
Parts, services, rentals or vehicles from other categories.
Token or filler prices meant to attract clicks.

Photo requirements

Up to 12 photos per listing, up to 10 MB each.
They must show the actual vehicle in its current condition.
We recommend showing the front, both sides, the rear, the interior, the dashboard with the mileage visible, and any damage.

Good practice

Be accurate about the condition, the damage and the maintenance history.
Say whether the vehicle has a lien or whether the title isn't available.
Answer quickly: buyers contact several sellers at once.

Consequences

A listing can be rejected or removed, and an account suspended, if it breaks these rules. Serious or repeated fraud violations can lead to permanent closure of the account and a report to the authorities.

Safety tips for buying and selling

General advice

See the vehicle in person, in a public place and in daylight. Never send money in advance to someone you don't know.
Verify the title and check that the seller's name matches the registered owner.
Check the VIN on the vehicle, on the title and in the listing: all three must match.
Be suspicious of prices far below market. It's usually the number one sign of a scam.
Be suspicious of haste, of sellers abroad, and of any request for payment by wire transfer, gift card or cryptocurrency.
If the vehicle comes from outside Puerto Rico, ask about its history: import, water or hurricane damage, and whether the title is clean.
Have the vehicle checked by a mechanic you trust before you pay. It's the best money you'll spend.
Don't share personal documents over messaging apps.

To be decided with the attorney: whether BoricuaAuto offers any warranty, and the exact wording of the required warnings.
