Frequently asked questions

What is Dealerly?

Dealerly is car sourcing software for UK independent dealers and car flippers. It scans 7 UK marketplaces every 5 hours, runs MOT and DVLA checks on listings, compares each car against real dealer-retail comparables, and ranks every listing BUY, OFFER or AVOID with a modelled margin estimate.

How much does Dealerly cost?

There is a free tier for looking around, plus Starter at £24.99/month, Pro at £59.99/month and Dealer at £129.99/month. Starter and Pro include a 7-day free trial. A free instant vehicle check by registration plate is available without an account.

Which marketplaces does Dealerly scan?

eBay, Motors, Cinch, Gumtree, Cazoo, Facebook Marketplace and PistonHeads — scanned every 5 hours.

Are the profit figures guaranteed?

No. Margins are modelled estimates built from real retail comparables minus modelled fees, transport and reconditioning. They are decision support for shortlisting — you still inspect and negotiate the car yourself.

How does Dealerly handle write-offs and mileage rollbacks?

Fraud and history flags are hard gates. If a listing shows a mileage rollback, an undisclosed write-off category or DVLA inconsistencies, the verdict is capped regardless of how good the margin looks. A margin calculation can never outvote a safety flag.

Is Dealerly for dealers or private flippers?

Both. Independent dealers sourcing 10–50 cars a month are the core audience; the same board works for serious private flippers. Tiers differ mainly in analysis volume and depth of breakdown.

Does Dealerly work in my area?

Dealerly scans UK-wide and lets you filter the board by postcode radius (5 to 100 miles) or view all of the UK.
