The opportunity·Money on the table
You can’t check every deal.
We can.
One recent scan surfaced 880+ cars with positive estimated margin. Checking manually at ~100 cars a day, you’d see barely one in eight of them.
ScanAuctions surfaces every deal that fits your filters — make, model, year range, price band, margin threshold. The best one isn’t in the 100 you saw. It’s in the hundreds you didn’t.

“I used to spend my entire morning on this. Now I check the app over coffee and I’m done.”

“We don't sell software we don't use. ScanAuctions runs Thames Cars' buying every morning — same scans, same valuations, same margins you get. One good car pays for the year.”
Abdullah Ahmed — Founder, ScanAuctions & Thames Cars

“The margin is on the screen before I've even opened the listing. I go through the morning scan over a coffee and have a shortlist in ten minutes — that used to be an hour of tabs.”
Mohsin — R8 Motors
UK
“We buy off the scan every week. The MOT history and risk flags have talked us out of cars that looked clean in the photos — that alone has paid for it.”
