CarHawk new scanner alert drawer on desktop with fields for alert name, makes, models, badge, year range and maximum kilometres

Set it once

Your buying rules, written down

Each alert is a saved set of filters plus a threshold. Run several side by side: one for cheap utes within 100 km, one for any car 20% under market across the coast.

Makes and models

Any number of makes and models, or leave it open and hear about any car under value.

Badge

Match inside the variant, so SR5 or GXL means exactly that trim.

Price

A minimum and maximum asking price, so every alert fits your budget.

Kilometres and year

A year range and a ceiling on the odometer.

Radius

A postcode and a distance. Cars outside it never reach your phone.

Body type

Utes, SUVs, sedans, hatches, wagons and vans, one or several.

The threshold

Decide what counts as a deal

Every alert compares the asking price to a value. Choose the one that matches how you sell.

The CarHawk deal rule

At or below wholesale less the same gap again. For the 2019 Toyota HiLux SR5, that is $29,520 or less.

A percentage under market

For example 20% under the median asking price of clean comparables.

A dollar figure under wholesale

For example $3,000 under, when you know your own margins.

Alert timing

Fifteen minutes or instant

Facebook Marketplace is scanned every 3 minutes, Gumtree every 5 and Carsales continuously. What happens next depends on your plan.

Scanner and Dealer

+15 min

Your alert is released 15 minutes after CarHawk finds the listing. Enough for most buyers, and the price breakdown is identical.

Dealer Pro

Instant

The alert goes out the moment the listing is priced. On a car that is well under wholesale, the first call usually wins.
