The wider net for used-car deal alerts.
JDMarket sends used-car deal alerts from the local marketplaces where private sellers actually list: Facebook Marketplace everywhere it operates, plus Craigslist in the US (all 413 metro sites), Kijiji in Canada (204 metros), and Gumtree in the UK (261 local areas) — every one included on every managed plan. Set up a car watch once — make and model, year range, price, mileage cap, clean-title-only, private-seller vs dealer, transmission, fuel, even a different price cap per model-year — and AI scores each new listing 1–5 against those rules, with a make/model gate so a Civic watch ignores Corollas. Fast tiers check every minute, and matches arrive as native push or Telegram usually about a second after we detect a listing. Managed plans start at $30/mo (Basic — 3-day free trial, card on file, auto-renews, cancel anytime).
The short answer
- JDMarket sends used-car deal alerts from Facebook Marketplace plus Craigslist in the US (413 metro sites), Kijiji in Canada (204 metros), and Gumtree in the UK (261 local areas) — every marketplace included on every managed plan, from $30/mo.
- One car watch carries the full buyer’s checklist — make/model, year range, price, mileage cap, clean-title-only, private-seller vs dealer, transmission, fuel — and AI scores every new listing 1–5 against it, so a Honda Civic watch ignores Corollas.
- Per-model-year price bands live in a single watch: for example 2018–2020 up to $18,000 and 2021+ up to $25,000, each cap enforced on every alert.
- Fast tiers check every minute (Pro $45/mo: 2 watches; Premium $80/mo: all 10), and alerts arrive usually about a second after we detect a listing. On Craigslist, Kijiji, and Gumtree, alerts only fire for cars genuinely posted in the last ~24 hours — re-bumped old ads are filtered out.
Works on
| JDMarket | Typical car-site saved-search email | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it can look (you pick per watch) | Your choice per watch: Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist (US) / Kijiji (Canada) / Gumtree (UK) | That one site’s own inventory |
| Filtering | AI scores each listing 1–5 against your rules; a make/model gate drops look-alikes | Typically a straight facet match — every new result, unranked |
| Delivery | Native push + Telegram — photo, price, and the 1–5 score on every alert (iPhone app live; Android coming soon) | Email, on the site’s schedule |
| Check cadence | Every minute on fast tiers (Pro: 2 of 10 watches; Premium: all 10) | Set by the site — typically batched digests |
| Per-model-year budgets | Yes — e.g. 2018–2020 ≤ $18,000 and 2021+ ≤ $25,000 in one watch | Usually one price range per saved search |
| Private-seller vs dealer | Yes — a real owner/dealer category switch on Craigslist; AI-checked against the listing elsewhere | Depends on the site |
| Freshness | Classifieds alerts fire only on cars genuinely posted in the last ~24 h — re-bumps filtered out | Varies by site |
| Price | $30–$80/mo managed (Basic $30/mo has a 3-day free trial, card on file) | Usually free |
JDMarket figures are code-verified on 2026-07-02. The right-hand column describes the free saved-search emails on car-listing sites in general; behavior varies by site and we haven’t benchmarked each one — where a site offers faster or filtered alerts, that column overstates the gap.
One city, one setup, every local marketplace that matters
Every watch picks its marketplace — Facebook Marketplace everywhere JDMarket operates, plus Craigslist in the US, Kijiji in Canada, and Gumtree in the UK, all included on every managed plan. You pick your city once and JDMarket derives what each marketplace needs, including your nearest Craigslist, Kijiji, or Gumtree metro, resolved automatically; Facebook watches add a distance ring of 1–500 km, applied by our worker. To cover Facebook and Craigslist at the same time, run the same search as two of your ten watches — one per marketplace — and both feed the same alert stream and the same searchable inbox.
Car-buyer filters that read the listing, not just the title
Vehicle watches filter by make and model, year range, price, mileage cap, clean-title-only, private-seller vs dealer, transmission, and fuel type. These aren’t marketplace checkboxes: our AI reads each listing’s details and checks them against your rules on every marketplace — the one exception is Craigslist, where private-seller vs dealer is a real category switch. On top sits the 1–5 deal score with a make/model gate, so a Civic watch doesn’t fire on Corollas, Accents, or Fortes just because a keyword search returned them.
A different budget for every model-year, in one watch
A 2018 Civic and a 2022 Civic aren’t the same purchase, so a single price cap is the wrong tool. Price bands let one watch 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 the guided watch setup, or tell the JD Assistant “2018–2020: 18000, 2021+: 25000” and it builds them for you; it also asks the car-specific follow-ups — year range, max mileage, budget per model-year — so the watch is complete before it starts.
Honest about speed — and about price
Fast tiers check every minute and alerts go out usually about a second after we detect a listing. On Facebook, every tool also waits on Facebook’s own ~7-minute listing approval; Craigslist, Kijiji, and Gumtree have no such approval delay, and there we only alert on cars genuinely posted in the last ~24 hours, with re-bumped old ads filtered out. On price, we won’t pretend to win everywhere: car-listing sites’ saved-search emails are usually free, and CarSnipe starts at $9.99/mo (vehicles only, ~3-minute checks at its fastest advertised tier — carsnipe.com, first-party verified 2026-06-18). JDMarket costs more because it’s a fully managed service that watches four marketplaces, scores every listing with AI, and can watch products as well as cars.
Questions
Which marketplaces do JDMarket’s used-car alerts cover?+
Every watch picks its marketplace: Facebook Marketplace everywhere JDMarket operates, plus Craigslist in the US, Kijiji in Canada, and Gumtree in the UK — all included on every managed plan. In practice that’s all 413 US Craigslist metro sites, 204 Canadian Kijiji metros, 261 UK Gumtree local areas, and any city Facebook Marketplace covers. Marketplaces are gated by account country — a US account sees Facebook plus Craigslist. The separate Desktop app ($29.99/mo) watches Facebook Marketplace only.
Can one watch cover Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist at the same time?+
Each watch picks its marketplace, so covering both means running the same search as two of your ten watches — one on Facebook Marketplace, one on Craigslist. Setup stays quick because you pick your city once and JDMarket derives what each marketplace needs, including your nearest Craigslist metro; both watches share the same car filters, the same alert stream, and the same inbox.
Can I set a different price cap for different model years?+
Yes. Per-model-year price bands live inside one watch — for example 2018–2020 up to $18,000 and 2021+ up to $25,000 — and each cap is enforced deterministically on every alert, on every marketplace. You can set bands in the guided watch setup or describe them to the JD Assistant in one line.
Does JDMarket filter out dealers and salvage titles?+
Yes, on vehicle watches. Private-seller vs dealer is a real category switch on Craigslist; everywhere else — and for clean-title-only, mileage caps, transmission, and fuel type — our AI reads each listing’s details and enforces your rules, so listings that fail score low and are dropped instead of alerted.
How fast are the alerts, and is there a free trial?+
Fast tiers check every minute: Pro ($45/mo) runs 2 of its 10 watches every minute, Premium ($80/mo) runs all 10, and Basic ($30/mo) checks 2 watches every 5 minutes and the rest every 10. Alerts arrive usually about a second after we detect a listing — though on Facebook, every tool also waits on Facebook’s own ~7-minute listing approval, while Craigslist, Kijiji, and Gumtree have no approval delay. Basic comes with a 3-day free trial: card on file, auto-renews after the trial, cancel anytime. Pro and Premium are card-upfront with no trial.
