Facebook Marketplace car alerts the moment a car posts.
On Marketplace, the best cars are gone in minutes — usually to whoever happened to be staring at their phone. Car Flip Finder stares for you. It scans Facebook Marketplace every minute and alerts you the instant an underpriced car is listed, with the numbers already run: wholesale value, retail value, estimated flip profit, and a drafted offer ready to send.

Speed is the whole game
A great Marketplace deal isn't a deal for long. The first buyer in the seller's inbox is usually the one who buys the car — so the only alert worth having is one that fires the moment the listing goes live. Car Flip Finder scans every minute and pushes the alert as soon as a matching car is posted and scored. No refreshing the app. No scrolling at midnight. The deal finds you.
What's inside every alert
Most alert tools tell you a car was posted. Ours tells you whether it's worth buying — the whole decision, packed into the notification.
Deal tier
Every alert leads with one word — Steal, Great, Good, or Pass — so you know whether to drop what you're doing before you read another line. Steal and Great are the ones that hit your phone instantly.
Wholesale value
What the car is realistically worth at auction or trade — the number you'd actually pay if you were buying it to move. It's how you know the floor before you ever message the seller.
Retail value
What the car should sell for on a lot or back on Marketplace once it's cleaned up. The spread between wholesale and retail is your room to work.
Estimated flip profit
The headline number: the estimated profit on the flip, attached to the alert itself. No spreadsheet, no mental math at a red light — the deal is already scored when it buzzes.
The listing details
Year, make, model, asking price, mileage and location — pulled straight from the listing, so you can decide and reach out without leaving the alert.
A drafted first offer
One tap drafts the opening message to the seller — based on the car and the numbers — and you send it. On Marketplace, the buyer who messages first usually buys the car.
What a Steal alert looks like
Illustrative example. Real numbers are computed from live market data on each listing.
Three steps from listing to profit
Scan
We watch Facebook Marketplace around the clock, catching new listings within about a minute of going live — including the ones with bad titles and terrible photos that other buyers scroll past.
Score
Every car is valued against wholesale and retail market data, then tiered: Steal, Great, Good, or Pass — with the estimated flip profit attached.
Strike
Steal and Great deals hit your phone instantly — push and email. One tap drafts the offer message so you're the first buyer the seller hears from.

Facebook Marketplace car alerts: common questions
How fast do the Facebook Marketplace car alerts arrive?+
Car Flip Finder scans Facebook Marketplace every minute and pushes the alert the moment a matching, underpriced car is posted and scored. Steal and Great deals go to your phone immediately by push and email, so you're reaching the seller while the listing is still fresh.
What's actually inside each alert?+
Every alert carries the deal tier (Steal / Great / Good / Pass), the car's wholesale value, its retail value, the estimated flip profit, the core listing details — year, make, model, asking price, mileage and location — and a one-tap drafted first offer you can send to the seller.
Does it message the seller for me?+
It drafts the message — a clean first offer based on the car and the numbers — and you send it with one tap. Nothing is ever sent without you.
Can I control which cars trigger an alert?+
Yes. You set saved searches by make, year, price, mileage and radius, and the alerts follow exactly what you flip. You can run as many saved searches as you want on the one plan.
Does it cover Craigslist or OfferUp too?+
No — Car Flip Finder watches Facebook Marketplace only, on purpose. Going deep on one platform is how we keep scanning every minute and attach a full valuation and estimated profit to every alert, instead of spreading thin across many sites.
What areas do the alerts cover?+
We're currently live in Asheville, NC with a 100-mile radius, and expanding market by market. Start a free trial to see current coverage in the app.
What does it cost?+
$299 per month, flat — alerts, wholesale and retail valuations, estimated profit, offer drafting and unlimited saved searches all included. It starts with a free 14-day trial, it's month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime.
Why I built this
The best deals on Marketplace are gone in minutes — usually to whoever happened to be staring at their phone. I built Car Flip Finder so the staring-at-the-phone part is automated: it watches every new listing, runs the numbers, and only interrupts you when a car is actually worth buying.
If you flip cars — two a month or twenty — the tool pays for itself the first time it puts you first in a seller's inbox.
