3. Scam of the week
I've found cars from dealers that had the most auctions or did impressive repairs. Remember to check every vehicle of your interest at Copart and IAAI on autoAstat.
4. 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.

This week, I am taking a look at one of the most popular SUVs: the 2017-21 Mazda CX-5 (KF)
2017-21 Mazda CX-5
You can see that the average price for the car was the cheapest in March 2022. So now is the best time to buy a Mazda CX-5.
