How to use Saved Searches, Favorites, and Wish to Buy Requests?

  • Saved Searches: After applying filters such as make, model, year, mileage range, etc., you can save your search for easy access later. In the pop-up window, you can enter a name for the saved search. Also, you can toggle alerts for SMS, email, push notifications, or all three to receive updates on new equipment listings that match your criteria.

How to Create and Use Saved Searches

Step-by-step guide on how to use the ‘Saved Search’ feature on www.cherrytrader.com

Inside tip: You can change the title of your saved search, delete it, and untoggle or retoggle alerts for email and push notifications.

How to Add and Manage Favorite Listings

  • Step 1: Browse truck, trailer, and heavy equipment listings
  • Step 2: Click the ‘heart’ icon on the listing to add it to your favorites
  • Step 3: Access all favorite listings by clicking “Favorite” in the top navigation bar
  • Step 4: Remove listings you’ve purchased or are no longer interested in by clicking ‘Clear List’ to remove all saved favorites, or toggle the heart icon off to remove individual listings.

There are multiple ways you can filter your favorite listings. You can use the sorting menu to sort favorite listings by date posted, price, year, and mileage.

You can enter the equipment name, VIN, category, and make if you're looking for a specific truck listing. You don’t need to enter all these details, but you’re free to do so to narrow down your search. Another option is to filter by ‘for sale’, ‘auction’, ‘for lease’, or ‘for rent’.

Common Questions

What if I don’t get alerts for saved searches?

If you aren’t receiving alerts for saved searches, it usually means no listings match your search criteria. Once a new listing that matches your criteria is posted, you will be notified.

Another possible reason is that SMS, email, or push notifications may not be toggled on. Make sure your notification settings are enabled to receive alerts.

Can I share saved searches or favorite listings with others?

Currently, there’s no option to share saved searches or favorite listings with others.

How many saved searches/favorites can I have?

You can add as many saved searches and favorite listings as you want.

Conclusion

Using these tools makes finding the right truck, trailer, or heavy equipment faster, easier, and more organized. By staying updated with alerts, comparing options, and keeping track of your favorites, you’ll never miss a deal!
