On a good used car, the first call wins
A clean, fairly priced car goes online in the morning and is "already promised" by lunch. Dealers watch new listings for a living โ private buyers refresh when they get a minute.
An alert flips that around: you set up your AutoScout24 search once, and when a matching car appears the message comes to you in Telegram โ without keeping the page open.
โSet it up in two minutes
- Build the search you actually mean on AutoScout24
Make, model, year range, mileage, gearbox, price range, radius. The more honest the filter, the more useful every alert.
- Sort by newest listings โ this is load-bearing, not a nicety
The default sort shows promoted stock first. Reliable new-listing alerts need the monitored address sorted newest-first โ on AutoScout24 that is ?sort=age&desc=1. Without it you monitor a relevance-ranked page, genuinely new cars can appear anywhere in it, and the alert degrades quietly. It is the single most common reason a monitor underperforms.
- Copy the address of the results page
Copy it from the address bar and send it to the bot in Telegram. It confirms and then watches exactly that search.
- Speed comes with your plan
Standard on the free plan, Fast on Starter, Instant on Pro. Nothing to set โ your search is watched around the clock.
๐กTips that make it work better
- ๐Call, don't message โ Sellers work through the first two or three callers and hand out the viewing slot.
- ๐งฎRun several models in parallel โ Watching an Octavia, a Golf and a Focus? Three searches. You compare across alerts instead of refreshing three result pages.
- ๐ฉA too-good price is a question, not a gift โ Fast alerts also bring you to scam listings first. A deposit without a viewing: walk away.
โFrequently asked questions
Will I get a message when a price drops?
We watch your search, not the price history of an individual car. A reduced or re-listed car usually reappears in a "newest first" search, though. What we can reliably do is tell you when something new matches your criteria.
How fast does the alert arrive?
As fast as your plan checks: Standard on the free plan, Fast or Instant on paid plans. We don't promise "seconds after publication" โ nobody honest can.
Which countries?
AutoScout24 is supported in several countries. Just send the address of your search; if the bot recognises the site, monitoring starts right away.
Is this allowed?
It's your own public search. The bot checks it for you.
