While Kijiji has been offering vehicle advertising since 2006, it wasn’t until recently that it became a full-fledged auto-specific Kijiji Autos with a variety of features for Canadian consumers and auto dealers. The changes for buyers include improved filtering, including search by owner or dealer; by make, model and year; by body type and color; by price range; and by mileage. Search results can now be expanded to a larger geographic area. Sellers are now prompted to describe their vehicle by way of required attributes, can now upload up to 10 photos, can map their location with Google maps, and can include their phone number if they choose.
 
Working with inventory management partners Strathcom Media, Boost Motors Group, Evolio or EDealer, the new flat-fee inventory management features for auto dealers include:

    * One-click automated uploading of vehicles, details and pictures
    * Automatic bump up – after 31 days, listings are automatically bumped up (a $1.99 value)
    * Dealership logo appear with listings
    * Dealer page including all current ads for that dealer
    * Direct links to dealership Web site (a $4 value)
    * Dealer Promo Tagline, with specific promotional details
    * Direct access to Kijiji Dealer support team

Private parties can still place auto ads at no charge.
