Seven listings came in. Two were worth a call.
CarSnipe watches Facebook Marketplace for the cars your business buys. Dealers, rebuilt titles and cars that won't start are dropped before your phone buzzes, so the alerts you get are the ones worth calling about.
7-day free trial, payment method required. Cancel in the first week and you pay nothing. Pro checks every 3 minutes, Basic every 15.
Made-up listings. "No accidents" and "never been in an accident" are sent: a seller saying no is not a mention.
One app, four ways to buy
Used-car dealers
Stock the lot from private sellers before the wholesalers call them. Toyota, Honda and Lexus under $15,000, skipping salvage and frame damage.
Rental fleets and Turo hosts
Clean titles, 2015 and newer, under 130,000 miles. That's close to Turo's own eligibility rules, set once. How to set it up
Wholesalers
Any make under $8,000 across several cities, from owners only. Skip "parts only" and "no title".
Flippers
Keep "mechanic special" and "needs work" on purpose, skip "no title". On Pro, the deal badge shows the room in the price. The flipping guide
Everything a buyer in volume needs
- Private sellers only. Dealer listings are dropped by the signs dealers leave, like financing offers and a lot address.
- Skip words. Salvage, rebuilt title, flood, not running, or any word you choose. How skip words work
- Oldest year, most miles, most you'd pay. A Turo-ready search is three settings.
- Several cities. Home plus up to 4 more markets on one Pro search.
- A price read on every car. Pro compares each one with local comps and flags what the seller's own words give away.
- Price drops and auctions. Hear when a car you saved gets cheaper. On Pro, auction lots from public sites show up on their own side of the app.
The honest limits
Checks run on a schedule. Pro looks every 3 minutes and Basic every 15, a third as often from 1 to 6 am.
Your searches share one hourly limit with Facebook. Pro has no cap on searches, but with twenty of them each comes around less often.
Something has to stay on. An Android phone does the searching itself. An iPhone needs a computer or a plugged-in Android phone to search for it.
It alerts you; it never messages sellers. You make the call, at your price.
One login per account. There are no team seats yet.

Yes. Turn on Private sellers only and CarSnipe drops listings that read like a dealer's, such as financing offers or a lot address, before they reach you. A dealer posing as a private owner can still slip through, so ask whose name is on the title.
Add them as skip words. A listing whose title or description says "salvage" or "rebuilt title" is never sent to you. A seller who writes "not salvage" or "no accidents" still comes through, because saying no is not a mention. A seller who leaves the title status out entirely also comes through, so run the VIN before you pay.
On Pro, each search covers your home area plus up to 4 more markets. Basic searches one area.
It can hold the rules Turo publishes: a year cutoff, a mileage cap under 130,000 and skip words for branded titles. It can only skip what the seller admits in the listing, and Turo makes the final call, so check its vehicle eligibility page before you buy.
Basic has 2 and Pro has no cap. All of an account's searches share one hourly request limit with Facebook, so with twenty searches each one comes around less often than with three.
Not yet. Each account has one login. If that blocks you, email support@carsnipe.com and tell us how your team buys. Buyers with more than one person are who we're building for next.
