Vol.119

February 18, 2025

February 3 - February 9, 2025

1. Auctions sales statistics

The volume of cars at auctions has rebounded and returned to its earlier levels, ensuring a dependable supply of vehicles. Despite this temporary dip, there have been no significant disruptions in vehicle availability. Both auctions have consistently maintained a flow of cars, contributing to seamless operations and a stable inventory for buyers.
Performance metrics, including the number of cars sold and approval ratings, have not only weathered the minor reduction in car volume but are also showing signs of improvement and growth.
In summary, insurance auto auctions provide a stable and consistent environment, with evidence of car volume returning to previous levels. Operations continue to run smoothly, and key performance indicators are not only stable but also showing positive growth trends.

State Farm Insurance was the leader in sales this week. They sold 18,777 cars. They are considered the best insurance company to buy from. Progressive Insurance followed with 16,895 cars sold. Geico insuranse sells cars at the highest bid, so it's worth considering them as a seller next time you're bidding.

2. Car of the week

My personal pick of the week!

2013 Lamborghini Gallardo

Final bid: $54,500 USD

The 2013 Gallardo LP570-4 Performante Edizione Tecnica represents the pinnacle of evolution for the famous Italian supercar. This special, limited, and highly performant version stands out with an even more aggressive design and meticulous attention to detail. Sculpted lines, enlarged air intakes, and an imposing rear wing give the Edizione Tecnica the appearance of a true race car homologated for the road.

5. Cars with the most bids

Cars that have the most bids are the ones that are most popular among buyers and have the most competition for purchase. It's important to note that just because a car has many bids, it doesn't necessarily mean it's the best deal or in the best condition. It's always important to thoroughly inspect the vehicle and do research on its history before making a bid.
