About Scout
Scout by FindMeACar helps people in the United States find a specific used car without refreshing listing sites every day. It’s built by a small, independent team in New York.
Why we built Scout
Shopping for a used car usually means the same routine: open three or four sites, set the same filters again, scroll past cars you’ve already seen, and hope the right one hasn’t sold before you notice it. The good cars tend to go quickly, and the search never really ends.
We wanted a calmer way to do it. You should be able to say what you want once, in your own words, and have something keep looking while you get on with your day.
What Scout does
You describe the car you want in plain English. Scout turns that into a search you review and confirm, checks used car inventory from dealers near you, and emails you when a match is listed — once a day on the Free plan, or every six hours on Scout Pro, which also sends price-drop alerts.
- Free plan: 1 active saved search with a daily email roundup
- Scout Pro: $9.99/month for 10 saved searches, checks every 6 hours and price-drop alerts
- Available anywhere in the United States
How we keep it honest
Scout doesn’t sell cars, take deposits, push financing or rank listings because a dealer paid us. We make money one way: the optional Scout Pro subscription. You can cancel it online at any time and keep Pro through the month you’ve paid for.
Listings come from dealers through the Auto.dev vehicle inventory data service, and searches are read with AI language parsing from OpenAI. Our privacy policy lists every provider we use and what each one receives.
