Questions

How is the dealer price worked out?

Each car is compared with similar cars for sale right now: same model, similar age and mileage, with every comparison price adjusted to match. We use the point 40% up from the cheapest rather than the average, because overpriced cars sit for weeks and drag averages up. Private and dealer prices are kept separate, so the margin you see is the gap between buying privately and what dealers typically ask. These are asking prices, not guaranteed sale prices.

Is it every private listing in the UK?

We check for new private listings across England, Scotland and Wales every 5 minutes, so new cars reach you soon after they go up. You choose your own area with a postcode and radius. We only alert you to cars up to £50,000 that are at least 5% below the typical dealer price.

What cars are left out?

We read every seller’s description and filter out cars described as damaged, faulty or non-running, ex-taxis, heavily modified or imported, plus anything over £50,000. Cosmetic modifications are shown with a note. No filter is perfect, so always check the car, its history and its MOT before you buy.

How fast are the alerts?

New listings are checked every 5 minutes and alerts go to your phone within minutes. Alerts are held back from 11pm to 8am so you can sleep. On iPhone, add Flipilo to your Home Screen (Share, then Add to Home Screen) to receive alerts. On Android and computers they work straight from the browser.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime, in one click. The first 7 days are free, then it’s £119 + VAT a month. There are no contracts and no tiers.

Is VAT included?

No. The price is £119 a month plus VAT. UK VAT is added at checkout. If you’re a VAT-registered business, you can enter your VAT number at checkout. Payments are handled by Dodo Payments, our reseller, which issues your invoices.

Do you sell my data?

No. We use your details to run your account and alerts, and nothing else. See our Privacy Policy.

Is it worth £119 a month?

That’s about £1,430 a year plus VAT. The margins in the examples on this page are live, and one car bought well under dealer price can cover a year of Flipilo. We can’t promise that it will: prices are asking prices, every car needs checking, and what you make depends on how you buy and sell. The 7-day trial is there so you can judge it on your own area first.
