Vol.126

April 8, 2025

March 24 - March 30, 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.

Top sellers of the week

State Farm Insurance was the leader in sales this week. They sold 17,159 cars. They are considered the best insurance company to buy from. Progressive Insurance followed with 16,744 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!

2018 Lamborghini Huracan

Final bid: $161,000 USD

The 2018 Lamborghini Huracán LP639 Performante is a track-focused supercar that elevates the Huracán's performance to new heights. Its naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 engine is tuned to produce around 631 horsepower (640 PS), delivering exhilarating acceleration and a signature Lamborghini sound. The Performante distinguishes itself with significant aerodynamic enhancements, including the innovative Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva (ALA) system, and extensive use of lightweight Forged Composite carbon fiber, resulting in reduced weight and increased downforce for exceptional handling and speed.

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.
