The lot only makes money when it's full of the right cars
Auctions are a bidding war
Fixed sale dates, buyer fees, and every other independent dealer in the lane bidding the margin right out of the car before you even own it.
Private-party is cheaper
Marketplace lists fresh private-party cars all day, often below wholesale — but the best ones are gone in minutes, usually to whoever was staring at their phone.
You can't watch it all day
You're running a dealership, not refreshing a feed. Car Flip Finder does the watching and only interrupts you when a car is actually worth buying.
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.
Source like a buyer who already knows the number
Private-party inventory, off Facebook Marketplace. Marketplace is where most US private-party cars get listed first. Car Flip Finder scans it every 60 seconds and catches new listings within about a minute of going live — including the ones with bad titles and terrible photos that other dealers scroll right past.
AI valuation so you never overpay. Every car is priced against wholesale and retail market data, with the estimated flip profit attached and a Steal / Great / Good / Pass tier. You buy on the numbers, not the seller's asking price — and you walk into the deal already knowing your ceiling.
Fill your lot faster than the next sale date. Steal and Great deals hit your phone the instant they're scored — push and email — with the first offer message already drafted. One tap and you're the first buyer the seller hears from. You restock between auctions instead of waiting on them.
Built for how an independent lot actually buys. Unlimited saved searches by make, year, price, mileage and radius, so the feed mirrors exactly the inventory your customers want. A pipeline that tracks every car from offer to bought to sold — so you can see what acquisition is doing for the bottom line.
Instant alerts
Push + email the moment a deal matching your searches is posted. Speed is the whole game on Marketplace.
Deal scores with real numbers
Wholesale value, retail value, and estimated profit on every car — not just a price-drop badge.
Saved searches
Makes, years, price, mileage, radius. The feed and your alerts follow exactly what you flip.
AI offer drafting
One tap writes the first message to the seller, so you're negotiating while everyone else is still typing.
Pipeline & wins tracking
Track every offer from sent to bought to sold, and watch your flip profits stack up.
Built for flippers and lots
Whether you flip two cars a month or run a lot, the feed, filters, and alerts fit how you buy.
One plan. Everything included.

The average flip clears $1,500–$3,000. One deal from the app pays for months of it — every deal after that is margin.
Start free 14-day trialWhy 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.

Independent dealer questions
How does Car Flip Finder help an independent dealer source inventory?+
It watches Facebook Marketplace every 60 seconds for private-party cars in your area, values each one against wholesale and retail market data, shows the estimated profit, and tiers it Steal, Great, Good or Pass. Underpriced cars hit your phone the moment they're listed, with the first offer message already drafted — so you can fill your lot from private sellers instead of bidding against every other dealer at the auction.
Will this keep me from overpaying for a car?+
That's the point of the valuation. Every listing is priced against both wholesale and retail market data before you ever message the seller, with the estimated flip profit attached. You see what a car is actually worth and what it should make you, so you buy on the numbers instead of on a gut feeling or a seller's asking price.
Is private-party sourcing really faster than the auction?+
For the right cars, yes. Auctions run on a schedule, charge fees, and put you head-to-head with every other dealer in the lane. Marketplace lists fresh private-party cars all day long — and the best deals are gone in minutes. Car Flip Finder gets you to those listings first so you can fill your lot between sales without waiting on the next auction date.
Do I need a dealer license to use it?+
Car Flip Finder finds and values deals — it doesn't change your licensing requirements. Plenty of our users are licensed independent dealers buying lot inventory; how many cars you can flip and whether you need a license depends on your state's rules.
What areas does it cover right now?+
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 for where you buy.
What does it cost for a dealership?+
$299 a month flat — one plan, everything included: unlimited saved searches, wholesale and retail valuations, estimated profit, AI offer drafting, and pipeline tracking. It starts with a free 14-day trial, runs month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime. The average flip clears $1,500–$3,000, so a single sourced car can cover months of it.
