A private-party acquisition pipeline for wholesale dealers.
Stop bidding against the whole lane. Car Flip Finder scans Facebook Marketplace every minute, AI-values every car at wholesale and retail, and flags the off-street units worth buying — so you build a steady acquisition pipeline and move metal instead of overpaying at auction.

Source off-street, buy to a margin, move units
Off-street inventory the auction can't give you. Every other dealer is fighting for the same cars in the same lanes, paying the same money. The private-party market is wide open — individual sellers, listed on Marketplace, priced by instinct instead of by the block. Car Flip Finder watches that market for you around the clock and surfaces the underpriced units the second they post.
Wholesale and retail numbers before you message. Every car is valued against live market data — a wholesale value, a retail value, and an estimated flip profit — then tiered Steal, Great, Good, or Pass. You buy knowing your spread on both exits, so you can acquire to a margin instead of hoping the numbers work out.
A pipeline that runs while you run the lot. Set saved searches for exactly what you wholesale — makes, years, mileage, price, radius — and the feed and alerts follow your book. The app drafts the first offer message and you send it with one tap, so you're first in the seller's inbox and first to the unit. Steady sourcing in, units out.
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.
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.

How does this build an off-street acquisition pipeline?+
Car Flip Finder scans Facebook Marketplace every 60 seconds and surfaces underpriced private-party cars the moment they're listed — the off-street inventory you can't get at auction. Instead of bidding against every other dealer on the same lanes, you're sourcing units directly from individual sellers, with a wholesale and retail value already attached. Set saved searches for the makes, years, mileage and price bands you wholesale, and the pipeline runs in the background.
How is the wholesale valuation calculated?+
Every car is AI-valued against live market data — both a wholesale value and a retail value — and tiered Steal, Great, Good, or Pass with an estimated profit attached. You see what the unit is worth on the wholesale side and what it carries on the retail side before you ever message the seller, so you can buy to a margin instead of guessing.
Will this help me move units faster?+
It helps you buy right, which is where the margin is made. The app drafts the first offer message based on the car and the numbers, and you send it with one tap — so you're the first dealer in the seller's inbox, which on Marketplace usually means you're the one who buys the car. The faster you acquire at the right number, the faster you can flip it wholesale or retail it out.
Does it replace the auction?+
No — it complements it. The auction stays useful for volume and specific units, but it's a crowded room where everyone pays the same money. Car Flip Finder opens a second lane: private-party cars that never hit the block, priced by individuals rather than by the market. Most wholesale dealers run both and let the off-street pipeline carry the deals with the best spread.
Do I need a dealer license to use it?+
No. The app finds and values deals — how many cars you flip and whether you need a license depends on your state's rules. Plenty of our users are licensed independent and wholesale dealers; the tool fits how you already buy.
What does it cost, and what areas does it cover?+
It's $299/month flat — everything included — after a free 14-day trial, month-to-month, cancel anytime. We're currently live in Asheville, NC with a 100-mile radius and expanding market by market. Start a trial to see current coverage in the app.
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.
