LotScout

Find underpriced vehicles before your competition.

What it is

LotScout is a used-car sourcing tool for dealers. It aggregates private-party listings from across the web, values each one against real dealer pricing, scores it for profit potential, and alerts you the moment a good deal appears.

It watches six platforms across Arizona every hour and tracks around 60 dealer rooftops for comparison pricing. At any given time it holds thousands of active private-party listings, refreshed continuously.

The goal is simple: surface the underpriced cars worth buying, and get them in front of you before another dealer calls the seller.

Who it's for

  • Used-car dealers: a steady pipeline of acquisition inventory from private sellers.
  • Buyers and acquisition managers: a faster way to spot margin without browsing marketplaces all day.
  • Independent lots: dealers who compete on sourcing speed in Arizona markets.

How it works

  1. LotScout scans listings across four Arizona metros every hour.
  2. AI scores every deal from 0 to 100 for flip potential, with estimated market values, red flags, and urgency signals.
  3. You get alerted first, so you can contact the seller and close before competitors.
