Use catalog filters without over-filtering

Start with market, source, sale window, year range, make/model, and title brand. Add damage, keys, odometer, seller type, and location after you know the buyer channel can use the vehicle.

A strict filter can hide the best candidate because the source data is incomplete or late. If the search feels too thin, relax damage or title detail first and let the risk signals do the next pass.

A saved search should match a repeatable buying lane: model family, budget, title tolerance, geography, and sale timing. Avoid saving one-off curiosity searches that create alert noise.
