Question 1

How does Flipper AI find underpriced cars?

Accepted Answer

Flipper AI scans Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp 24/7, analyzing thousands of listings against market values. When a car is priced significantly below its estimated value, it surfaces in your Deal Feed with a Deal Score so you can act fast.

Question 2

What is a Deal Score?

Accepted Answer

Deal Score is a 0-100 rating that compares a listing's price against its estimated market value, factoring in mileage, condition indicators, and market demand. Higher scores mean better deals. Scores above 70 are typically strong buys.

Question 3

What's the difference between Basic and Pro plans?

Accepted Answer

Basic ($19/mo) gives you access to the Deal Feed with filters, 2 saved searches, and the ability to favorite listings. Pro ($49/mo) unlocks unlimited saved searches, daily email digest alerts, advanced filters, and priority access to new features.

Question 4

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time from your Account page. There are no long-term contracts or cancellation fees. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.

Question 5

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All plans come with a 3-day free trial so you can experience the features before committing. No charge until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime during the trial period.

Question 6

Do I need to be a dealer to use Flipper AI?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Flipper AI is built for everyone — side hustlers flipping 1-2 cars a month, experienced flippers doing 10+, and licensed dealers looking for wholesale opportunities.

Question 7

How much can I make flipping cars with Flipper AI?

Accepted Answer

Profits vary by deal, but our users typically report $1,500-$5,000 per flip. The Deal Score helps you identify the highest-margin opportunities so you can focus on the most profitable deals.

Question 8

What marketplaces does Flipper AI scan?

Accepted Answer

Flipper AI currently scans Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and OfferUp — covering the three largest sources for used car deals in the US. All listings are unified into a single Deal Feed.

Question 9

How much money do I need to start flipping cars?

Accepted Answer

Most beginners start with $3,000–$8,000 to purchase their first flip vehicle. The key is keeping your purchase price low enough that repairs, fees, and your time still leave at least $1,000–$2,000 in net profit. Starting in the $3,000–$6,000 purchase range is ideal for first-time flippers.

Question 10

How many cars can I flip per year without a dealer license?

Accepted Answer

The limit varies by state. Most states allow private individuals to sell 4–12 vehicles per year before requiring a dealer license. Common limits: California (5/year), Texas (4/year), Florida (2/year). If you plan to flip more than your state's limit, getting a dealer license is the safest route.

Question 11

What is the best car to flip for profit?

Accepted Answer

The best cars to flip for profit are high-demand, reliable models with a large buyer pool: Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, Ford F-150, Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Wrangler, and Honda Civic consistently perform well. The $5,000–$15,000 price range is the sweet spot — accessible to a wide buyer base and with enough margin to absorb reconditioning costs.

Question 12

How do I find undervalued cars to flip?

Accepted Answer

The best sources for undervalued cars are Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, estate sales, and word of mouth. Look for motivated sellers using keywords like 'moving,' 'quick sale,' or 'need gone.' Flipper AI automates this by scanning all major platforms 24/7 and ranking listings by profit potential so you see the best deals first.

Question 13

Is car flipping legal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, car flipping is legal in all US states. However, each state limits how many vehicles a private individual can sell per year before requiring a dealer license. As long as you stay within your state's limit (typically 4–12 vehicles/year), you can flip cars legally without a license. Income from flipping is taxable as self-employment income.

Question 14

How long does it take to flip a car?

Accepted Answer

From purchase to sale, most flips take 1–3 weeks. Finding and buying the car takes 1–3 days. Reconditioning (detailing, minor repairs) takes 1–5 days. Listing and selling takes 5–14 days in most markets. High-demand vehicles like trucks and Toyota Camrys often sell within 3–5 days of listing.
