CraigsPro+CraigsPro+ ($1.99)

Combine it with a swift e-mail and that 1988 Pontiac Fiero GT will be yours. 
You only get 50 of these search alerts with purchase, but snagging more is as cheap as a tenth of a cent apiece. 
(CraigsPro+ uses remote servers to continuously scour Craigslist for your search terms then sends push alerts when it scores a hit, rather than grinding your phone battery down. The price goes to reimbursing those expenses.)
