How does a favourite search work?

With a favourite search, you can easily keep track of vehicles within CarCollect that match your trading needs.

Written by Railey Vrouwe

By saving a favourite search, you save your selected filters. This means you do not have to set the same search criteria every time, allowing you to find vehicles that are relevant to your stock more quickly.

Why should I use a favourite search?

With favourite searches, you can:

✔ Quickly find vehicles that match your requirements.
✔ Save time when searching through the available vehicles.
✔ Search specifically for certain makes, models or vehicle types.
✔ Avoid missing interesting vehicles.

Favourite searches are especially useful when you regularly search for the same types of vehicles.

How do I create a favourite search?

Follow these steps:

  1. Go to the vehicle listings within CarCollect.

  2. Set your desired filters.

  3. Check whether the search results match your requirements.

  4. Save the search as a favourite search.

  5. Give the search a recognisable name.

You can then easily reopen the saved favourite search.

Which filters can I use?

You can use filters to make your favourite search more specific.

Examples of filters include:

  • Make and model.

  • Fuel type.

  • Transmission.

  • Year of manufacture.

  • Mileage.

  • Price range.

  • Country.

  • Vehicle type.

  • Damage category.

By combining multiple filters, you can create an offer that better matches your trading strategy.

How do I use favourite searches in my daily trading activities?

Create different favourite searches for different situations.

Examples:

My standard stock

  • Popular models that you sell regularly.

  • Vehicles within your preferred price range.

Fast-moving stock

  • Vehicles with an interesting price.

  • Models with a high turnover rate.

Specific customer requests

  • Vehicles you are actively looking for on behalf of customers.

  • Specific makes or models.

Tip

Create multiple favourite searches instead of using one general search.

A specific favourite search helps you find relevant vehicles more quickly and allows you to trade more efficiently.

Examples:

✔ “BMW X1 – maximum 100,000 km”
✔ “Electric vehicles Netherlands”
✔ “SUVs under €20,000”
✔ “Replenish stock”

This allows you to get more value from the vehicle listings available on CarCollect.
