September 2, 2025
August 18 - August 24, 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.

The best cars this week that deserve your attention
2024 Ineos Grenadier
Final bid: $35,000 USD
The 2024 Ineos Grenadier is a purpose-built, rugged off-road SUV. It was conceived by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, chairman of the Ineos Group, after Land Rover stopped producing the original Defender. He saw a gap in the market for a simple, capable, and durable 4x4. The Grenadier is built on a tough ladder frame chassis with solid axles, and is powered by a reliable BMW turbocharged inline-six engine.
1989 Porsche 911
Final bid: $61,500 USD
The 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera is a classic sports car, representing the final model year of the G-Series generation. It features an air-cooled 3.2-liter flat-six engine and is known for its pure, mechanical driving feel. This model is particularly sought after for its iconic styling and the G50 manual transmission, which is considered a significant upgrade.
2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Final bid: $33,500 USD
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter High Roof 4-cyl Diesel HO is a large, versatile van. The "High Roof" configuration provides a massive amount of standing room, while the "HO" (High-Output) 4-cylinder diesel engine offers 211 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque for strong hauling and towing performance. It's a reliable work vehicle designed for a wide range of uses, from delivery services to custom conversions.
4. 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.
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.
