Australian Car Deal Finder App

Customer: AI | Published: 23.10.2025

I’m ready to move from idea to reality on a cross-platform mobile app that instantly uncovers under-market car bargains across Australia. The first release needs to feel fast, trustworthy, and polished — think a dark Uber-style interface paired with lightning-quick notifications. ⸻ What I need built • A functional iOS and Android app (React Native, Flutter, or similar) with a shared codebase. • Real-time scanning focused first on Facebook Marketplace, with Gumtree and Carsales added once the base architecture is stable. • Instant push notifications that alert users the moment a matching listing appears — this is the most critical feature. • Number-plate recognition that stores and tracks plates locally to flag repeat listings or flipped cars. • Automatic registration checks using official Australian state and territory transport systems (Transport NSW, VIC Roads, QLD Transport, etc.) to show expiry, overdue registration, or invalid numbers. • Integrated Personal Property Securities Register checks to reveal write-offs, stolen vehicles, or finance encumbrances. • Map view with coloured “hot zones” highlighting areas where cars are frequently listed at good prices, plus adjustable radius filtering (10–100 km). • Swipe-style feed with keyword blocking (e.g. “dealer”, “salvage”), seller-type filters (private, dealer, trade), and quick-add favourites. • User profiles with saved searches, notifications, feedback, and account management. • Referral system offering discounts when users invite friends who subscribe. • Apple Pay integration and other secure payment options for memberships and vehicle checks. ⸻ Subscription plans Basic Plan • No instant searches • 2 searches every 6 minutes • Unlimited searches after 8 minutes Pro Plan • 4 instant searches (limited to 50 km radius) • 4 searches every 2 minutes • 4 searches every 6 minutes • Unlimited searches after 8 minutes • Includes vehicle history and finance checks
