Car alerts
Car alerts across marketplaces, one watch per site.
Manage car searches from one app, with a separate watch for each marketplace. JDMarket supports Facebook Marketplace, plus regional options: Craigslist and OfferUp in the US, Kijiji in Canada, and Gumtree in the UK. The available choices depend on your account country. Choose the make, model, year range and budget for each watch, then add mileage, title and seller requirements. AI evaluates the listing details against your rules. After a scheduled check finds a match, alerts can arrive through Telegram or native push with the price, score and original listing link.
One watch per marketplace, managed in one app
A single watch does not search all five marketplaces. Create a separate watch for each supported site you want to cover, keeping the car criteria consistent. For example, a Canadian search can use one Facebook Marketplace watch and one Kijiji watch. Those two searches use two of the 10 watch slots included in a plan. Choose the relevant location for each watch; marketplace choices depend on your account country.
- Choose the marketplace and location for the first watch.
- Set the make/model, model-year range and budget. Add separate model-year budgets if needed.
- Add mileage, title and seller requirements, and decide how to handle details missing from a listing.
- Save the watch and check your notification permissions and active hours.
- Create a second watch for another supported marketplace, then review its saved settings instead of assuming they carried over.
What car filters can and cannot establish
Vehicle watches support make/model, year range, price, mileage, clean-title-only, seller type, transmission and fuel requirements. AI compares the available listing details with those rules; omitted or inaccurate seller information can still affect the result. On Craigslist, owner versus dealer also uses a category switch. Review the original ad and verify title history, mileage and condition with the seller and appropriate records. A match score is not evidence that a vehicle has a clean history.
A different budget for every model-year
New car listing alerts get noisy when a single price cap has to cover several model-years. Per-year price bands fix that: one watch can carry several model-year ranges, each with its own cap — say 2018-2020 up to $18,000 and 2021+ up to $25,000 — enforced deterministically on every alert. Set the bands in guided setup, or tell the JD Assistant "2018-2020: 18000, 2021+: 25000" and it builds them, then asks the car follow-ups (year range, max mileage, budget per model-year) so the watch is complete before it starts running.
Check schedules and notification delay
Basic schedules 2 watches every 5 minutes and 8 every 10 minutes. Pro schedules 2 every minute and 8 every 5 minutes. Premium schedules all 10 every minute. Marketplace visibility, filtering, processing, retries, daily listing-check caps and notification delivery can add delay; no publication-to-alert time is guaranteed.

Each watch checks one marketplace and uses a slot in your plan. Marketplace availability depends on country; Gumtree coverage is UK-only. Check intervals do not guarantee publication-to-alert time. AI-based mileage, title, transmission and fuel rules use seller-provided details; verify these facts before buying. On Craigslist, owner versus dealer also uses the marketplace category.
Questions
What is a car alerts app?
A car alerts app checks for matching vehicle listings and sends notifications so you do not have to keep refreshing searches. In JDMarket, each watch uses one marketplace and its own car criteria. A scheduled check, filtering and notification delivery are separate steps, so alerts are not guaranteed to arrive at the moment a seller publishes a listing.
Which marketplaces does JDMarket watch for cars?
JDMarket supports Facebook Marketplace and regional options: Craigslist and OfferUp in the US, Kijiji in Canada, and Gumtree in the UK. Available choices depend on your account country; Gumtree Australia is not covered. Each watch checks one marketplace. Use additional watch slots to cover additional supported sites.
Can I filter out salvage titles and dealers?
You can set clean-title-only and private-seller requirements on vehicle watches. Craigslist also provides an owner-versus-dealer category choice. AI-based checks rely on listing details and cannot verify a seller’s claims or recover information that is missing. Review title records and seller identity before relying on a match.
How fast are the car alerts?
Basic schedules 2 watches every 5 minutes and 8 every 10 minutes. Pro schedules 2 every minute and 8 every 5 minutes. Premium schedules all 10 every minute. Marketplace visibility, filtering, processing, retries, daily listing-check caps and notification delivery can add delay; no publication-to-alert time is guaranteed.
How much do car alerts cost?
Each marketplace search uses one slot, and regional availability applies. Create your account and subscribe in the JDMarket app. Prices, renewal terms and any available offers are shown by the App Store or Google Play before purchase.
Does a high AI score mean a car is a good deal?
No. The score helps prioritize listings that appear to fit your watch. Compare similar vehicles, check the original ad and confirm availability, mileage, title history and condition. Include taxes, transport and expected repairs in your budget, and arrange an appropriate inspection before buying.
