FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
- Who is Car Deal Alert for?
- Car Deal Alert is built for anyone hunting for the best deal on a cheap car in Victoria. Whether you're a car flipper looking to buy low and sell high, or simply want to find a great deal on your next vehicle — our alerts make sure you hear about new listings and price drops before anyone else.
- How do your alerts compare to Carsales saved searches?
- Carsales' own alert system fails to send notifications at all for many users — listings come and go without a single alert, even with active saved searches matching their exact criteria. Car Deal Alert monitors both Carsales and Facebook Marketplace and delivers alerts consistently — Facebook Marketplace every 2 hours and Carsales daily. We're purpose-built for finding deals fast, not a bolt-on feature of a marketplace.
- Does Facebook Marketplace have its own alert system?
- Facebook Marketplace does have a notification system, but it only sends push notifications to your phone — no email. Notifications are inconsistent, often arrive late, or don't fire at all. Car Deal Alert monitors Facebook Marketplace and sends you a reliable email alert when a new listing matches your search — so you hear about deals before other buyers who are checking manually or waiting on unreliable push notifications.
- Will alert frequency improve over time?
- Yes — we're actively scaling our checking frequency as our subscriber base grows. We currently check every 2 hours and eventually near real-time alerts.
- What's in the free daily digest?
- A daily snapshot of your matches from 2 days ago — preview which ones possibly sold before you knew, what's still available, and market insights on Victoria's sub-$8k car market. Full listings unlocked for Pro members.
- Can I cancel anytime?
- Yes, via your account dashboard instantly.
- What cars do you cover?
- All vehicles under $8,000 across Victoria.
- Which states do you cover?
- We currently cover all of Victoria, Australia. We're actively expanding to other states — sign up now and you'll be among the first to know when your state launches.
- How do I get help?
- Email us at support@cardealalert.com.au and we'll get back to you within 24 hours.
