Autofindr checks your saved searches in the background, then brings matching cars into one feed. Earlier discovery gives you more time to review the advert, contact the seller and arrange an inspection.

What to do after a car alert

From alert to viewing

Contact the seller

Open the original marketplace advert to confirm availability, ask your questions and discuss the next step.

Arrange a viewing

Confirm the vehicle identity, history and condition before deciding whether to buy.

Spend your time buying, not repeating searches

One exceptional deal can change the value of your subscription

A desirable car in a sought-after specification appears on Facebook Marketplace for $24,000. Comparable alternatives in this example are advertised around $32,000.

That is an $8,000 potential purchase-price advantage worth investigating immediately. Asking prices do not establish the car's condition or what it will sell for.

Illustrative exceptional opportunity

Exceptional listing: $24,000
Comparable advertised alternatives: $32,000
Potential purchase-price advantage: $8,000

Listed. Spotted. Gone.

The $24,000 car appears. The first serious buyer spots it, calls and secures it. By your next manual check, it is already gone. The comparable cars still available are thousands more.

Understand the example figures

For a flipper, an assumed $32,000 sale after $2,000 of additional costs would produce a $6,000 potential result before tax, personal labour and overheads. The $8,000 purchase-price gap and resale result are different measures.

Illustrative scenario and amounts. An alert does not reserve a vehicle or guarantee a purchase. The opportunity is a chance to investigate a saving or resale result, rather than profit already earned.

Find the next purchase that makes the numbers work

Autofindr helps you find suitable vehicles sooner, without spending your day searching. Review the opportunity, estimate the preparation costs and decide whether the potential return meets your target.

In this illustrative regular purchase, you buy for $26,000, spend $2,000 on preparation and other costs, and sell for $32,000. The profit after those listed costs is $4,000.

Illustrative amounts. The $4,000 result is a 12.5% margin on sale proceeds, or a 14.3% return on $28,000 invested, before tax, personal labour and business overheads. This is an example target, not an industry average. Change the figures to assess your own purchase.

Make every stage of a purchase more useful

Find a candidate, assess the full buying cost and learn from the result. Keep an optimistic estimate separate from what you actually paid, spent and received.
