DEAL Made a tool that texts me great private party deals, looking for dealers to test.

Hey y'all, I built a tool that scans all the private party listings (FB Marketplace, Craigslist, etc).


I tell it what I'm after, like "trucks underpriced for the Dallas market, good condition and decent tread," and it texts me the second a match lists so I can be first to it. Think of it like an employee that scrolls through private party listings all day, that never gets tired.


Built it for myself, but seems like it'd be even more useful for dealers sourcing private party. Looking for a few to join our pilot.

A developer named Hussein Syed is pitching ScoutLot, a tool he built that monitors private party listings on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, then sends instant text alerts when a vehicle matching custom criteria appears. The core value proposition is speed-to-contact on underpriced inventory before competitors. He's recruiting dealers for a pilot program and invites direct outreach or a site booking.
