Frequently Asked Questions

carFlippy aggregates public listings from popular platforms like Gumtree, AutoTrader, and eBay Motors. We use smart technology to analyse the vehicle's condition, MOT history, and market value, helping you estimate the potential profit margin with ease.

We calculate your net profit by taking the expected resale price and subtracting all the usual estimated costs. This includes things like 3 months of road tax, MOT fees, a sensible repair buffer based on the car's mileage, travel fuel to go collect it, insurance for the holding period, and platform selling fees. It's a full picture, not just the buying price!

While we'd love to guarantee a profit, every car is unique! carFlippy provides well-researched estimates based on live market data and historical averages to give you the best possible starting point. Always remember to do your own physical inspection of a vehicle before making a purchase.
