Hey StangNet crew,


You guys know I'm always on the lookout for a decent project — clean 5.0, notchback, hatch, whatever doesn't scream "dealer flip" or have a salvage story. Scrolling Marketplace and Autotrader for hours is still a pain, especially when the good ones disappear fast.


I built something to fix that for myself... and figured it might help some of you too. It's called CarHunter PRO. It checks Facebook Marketplace, Autotrader, and Cars.com every hour, filters out the dealer crap/salvage titles/clones, and only flags real private seller stuff that matches what you're after (year, price, miles, radius, etc.). You get an email ping right when something fresh pops up.


It's still in beta, but it's catching real listings already. I'm giving free beta access (full features, no card required) to a few StangNet folks—especially the Fox guys since that's where most of the action is here. First come, first served.


If you're hunting for your next project, roller, or just something fun, reply here or shoot me a DM and I'll hook you up.


Check it out quick: https://carhunterpro.com/


Let me know if you're interested.

I'm interested in this, it's very helpful to those that don't have a FaceSmack account.

I've been playing with this thing for a couple weeks and this part is the best part for me.

It turns daily, active searching into a passive event where you sip on your coffee while this thing digs up all the relevant sales.


Here you can see how frequently it digs up new ads:

You can now update your profile if you just want one email per hour as a digest vs an email for each one we find.

Refresh and you should see credits up top right and then choose Searches to create.

I would suggest not narrowing the search down too tight (mileage, price range, distance) just let it be kinda a wide net to see how it works then you can start trimming it down. Not sure what state you are in but let me know and I can make sure your state is added.

Put me in coach! I am constantly scrubbing the markets manually. Part of it is passing time, but right now, I'm seriously trying to help a neighbor find a manual non-vert fox nearby (NC) for ~$10k. chris42arnold@yahoo.com

Mike, also, I don't know if it's because I'm using an old version of Chrome, but it's glitching a bit. The text is seemingly white and blends with the background. However, I can highlight it and then it changes color to become readable.

The forums color? Note: ive jumped off Google Chrome and now use Brave which is Chrome but without the google bloat and memory hog.

Your account is good to go, keep me posted!

I'll get a screenshot if I notice it again on my home computer. Works fine on my phone.
