The car-buyer's Gumtree alerts (UK).

Every Gumtree car watch takes a mileage cap, clean-title-only, a year range, transmission, fuel type, and a different price cap per model-year. None of these are Gumtree search boxes: our AI reads each ad's own detail page and checks it against your rules before anything reaches your phone, dropping Cat S/N write-offs, high-mileage cars, or the wrong gearbox. A make/model gate drops look-alikes too, so a Ford Fiesta watch never fires on a Focus. Alerts arrive on push and Telegram with the photo, price, a 1–5 score, and a direct link to the ad.

Shopping a shortlist rather than a single car? One Gumtree car watch can track several models — say a Golf, an Astra, and a Focus — or several year ranges of the same model, each with its own price cap. Set 2018–2020 under one budget and 2021+ under a higher one, and each band is judged on its own. That's per-model and per-year price bands doing the sorting, so you're not running five separate searches or getting pinged on a 2015 car you'd never buy. It's the difference between a used-car-alerts UK feed you skim and one you act on.

Sellers renew and bump old car ads to float them back to the top. JDMarket reads the posted age on each car ad's own detail page and only alerts on cars genuinely posted in roughly the last 24 hours, so renewed listings stay silent. A new watch's first check sets a quiet baseline instead of flooding you with everything already listed, and a page-2 catch-up sweep makes sure a burst of new ads between checks doesn't slip past. Unlike Facebook Marketplace — where every tool waits on Facebook's own ~7-minute listing approval — Gumtree ads surface as soon as they're posted, so cadence is the only thing that matters: Premium checks all 10 watches every minute, Pro checks 2 every minute and 8 every 5, and alerts go out usually about a second after we detect a car.

Gumtree splits the UK into local areas, and JDMarket covers all 261. You don't need to know which is yours: type your town once and the nearest area is resolved automatically, with spelling-tolerant matching and a nearest-area fallback so a village or suburb still lands correctly. Gumtree car watches run on the managed plans — nothing to install, no computer left on, no login to any marketplace. UK accounts also get Facebook Marketplace on the same plan (with a 1–500 km distance ring, a Facebook-only filter). One plain limit worth repeating: JDMarket covers Gumtree UK only — we do not cover Gumtree Australia. The $29.99/mo Desktop App is a separate product that watches Facebook Marketplace only.
