Not only cars: Motor Gear Trader.
Motor Gear Trader is a Canadian marketplace for ATVs, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, personal watercraft, go-karts and riding gear, built on Yclas with a design of its own. The same platform runs car sites, powersports and boats: your categories, your fields, your look.
- Its own design: a theme in the brand's red and black, with a photo tile for each category.
- Categories for its market: ATVs, dirt bikes, go-karts, watercraft, racing bikes, snowmobiles, side-by-sides, boats and gear.
- Search that fits: a keyword box on every page, and filters by vehicle type, city and price.
Every car listing, with the details buyers ask for.
One click adds the vehicle fields and a built-in catalogue of more than 100 makes and over 1,000 models, free and with no API key to manage. Sellers pick a make, then a model from a short list, so every listing is consistent and searchable.
- Make, model and year as linked dropdowns, with years from next year back to 1980.
- Ten standard fields in the same click: body type, fuel, transmission, mileage, engine, colour, doors, condition, first registration and "trade-in accepted".
- Makes from every market: European, American, Japanese and Korean brands, plus Chinese, Indian and Latin American makes, trucks, motorbikes, powersports and classics.
- Already have car fields? The pack finds make, model, year and mileage fields by their names in about ten languages, so existing sites keep their fields.
- Kilometres or miles, and prices in your currency.
Rank for "used Toyota Land Cruiser in Dubai", automatically.
People search for a make, a model and a place. Yclas builds a landing page for each combination that has stock: all makes, one make, one model, and a model in a city. Each page lists the live cars and links to its neighbours, and goes into your sitemap.
- Four levels: /vehicles, /vehicles/toyota, /vehicles/toyota/land-cruiser and /vehicles/toyota/land-cruiser/dubai.
- Only real pages: a page with fewer than three live cars is kept out of Google (noindex) and out of the sitemap, so thin pages never hurt you.
- Any language and script: slugs keep the make's own spelling, Arabic included.
- 24 cars per page, with paging, and counts refreshed every hour.
Tell buyers whether the price is fair.
Each car is compared with similar cars on your own site: the same make and model, within two model years, in the same currency. Buyers see "Good price", "Fair price" or "High price" with the reason, such as "12% below the median price of 8 similar Toyota Corolla 2018-2022".
- Only when the data is there: at least five comparable cars after outliers are removed, otherwise no label.
- Price-drop emails: when a seller lowers a price, everyone who saved the car hears about it, at most once a day.
- Your choice: switch the label off in Settings if your market prefers not to show it.
Give every dealer a showroom, and keep their stock up to date for them.
Approved dealer accounts get a page with all their cars, their own make and model filters, and sorting by newest, price, year or mileage. Each of their listings carries a Dealer badge and a link to the rest of their stock.
- Bulk import from a CSV file, with vehicle columns mapped for you and a preview before anything is saved.
- Scheduled stock feed: the dealer gives a CSV or XML link and Yclas fetches it on a schedule, adding and updating cars, photos included, and taking down the ones it no longer lists.
- Up to 1,000 cars per upload or feed run; your plan's listing limit and moderation still apply.
- Stats they can see: views, contacts and saves per listing, and test drive requests in their account.
Turn a viewer into a test drive.
A "Book a test drive" button on every car asks for a day and a 30-minute time up to 60 days ahead. The seller gets an email, accepts or declines in their account, and the buyer is told either way. Free for both sides.
- Serious buyers only: they sign in and leave a phone number, with limits per buyer to stop spam.
- Trade-in accepted: sellers tick a box, buyers see a badge and can filter for it.
- Finance estimate: a "from X a month" calculator with your rate and term, on the Nova theme.
Fill the form from the VIN, and show that it matches.
Sellers can type the VIN and press "Decode from VIN" to fill make, model and year. After the listing is saved, Yclas checks the VIN against the listing and shows a "VIN checked" badge when the make and year match.
- Your history report partner: add the link of the provider you work with, and every listing gets a "Get a vehicle history report" button with its VIN.
- Privacy: optionally hide the last six characters of the VIN from visitors.
- Honest by design: "VIN checked" says the VIN matches the car described. It is not a history, theft or mileage check. Present it to your buyers that way.
VIN decoding uses the free NHTSA vPIC service; cars from outside North America often decode to the make only.
Snap the car, and the form fills itself.
Sellers add a photo and the AI suggests the title, description, price and the car fields it can see: make, model, body type, colour and fuel, and the year when it is sure. It never guesses the mileage or the VIN. The seller checks everything before posting.
- Hide number plates: one click pixelates the plates in up to six photos, and leaves a photo untouched when the AI is unsure.
- Fair limits: up to 10 photo listings per seller a day, within your plan's monthly allowance.
In this demo the AI result was loaded from a saved sample rather than a live AI call; the form is the real one.
Posting a car takes a minute, even for private sellers.
- Pick the make, then the model from that make only.
- Year, mileage, fuel and transmission as dropdowns and ranges that buyers can filter on.
- Up to 30 photos on the Marketplace plan, 20 on Professional and 5 on Starter.
- Add your own fields: service history, number of owners, warranty, import status.

Car marketplace FAQ
Other niches:
Can dealers upload all their stock at once?
Yes. A dealer with a business account can import a CSV file, with vehicle columns mapped for them and a preview first, or give a CSV or XML link that Yclas fetches on a schedule. Up to 1,000 cars per run, photos included.
Where does the make and model list come from?
From a catalogue built into Yclas with more than 100 makes and over 1,000 models, including Chinese, Indian and Latin American brands, trucks, motorbikes and classics. It is free and needs no API key. You can also keep your own fields.
Will Google index pages for each make and model?
Yes. Yclas creates landing pages for each make, model and model-in-a-city that has live listings, adds them to your sitemap, and keeps pages with fewer than three cars out of the index.
How does the price label work?
Each car is compared with similar cars on your site: same make and model, within two model years, in the same currency. With at least five comparable cars it shows Good, Fair or High price and the reason. Otherwise it shows nothing.
Is "VIN checked" a vehicle history check?
No. It means the VIN decodes to the same make and year as the listing. For history, add the link of a report provider you work with and every listing gets a button with its VIN.
Can I charge dealers but keep it free for private sellers?
Yes. Sell dealer memberships with more listings and the stock feed, and leave posting free for everyone else, or charge only in certain categories.
Does it work for motorbikes, trucks, vans and parts?
Yes. The catalogue includes trucks, motorbikes and powersports. Give each category its own fields: engine size for bikes, payload for vans, part number for parts.
Can buyers book a test drive?
Yes. Each car has a "Book a test drive" button for a 30-minute slot up to 60 days ahead, Monday to Saturday. The seller accepts or declines from their account and both sides get an email.
Can sellers hide number plates in photos?
Yes, on the Nova theme with AI photo listings switched on. One click pixelates the plates in up to six photos at a time.
I already run a car site. Will my fields work?
Usually, yes. The pack recognises make, model, year and mileage fields by their names in about ten languages, so you can switch it on without renaming anything.
Which theme should I use?
Nova, the default for new sites, shows everything: key specs, the VIN decoder, AI photos and the finance calculator. Older themes get the pack's main parts through the related listings block.
Can it run in my language and currency?
Yes. Yclas runs in more than 40 languages, a site can use several, and prices show in your currency with kilometres or miles.
