Vol.148

September 9, 2025

August 25 - August 31, 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.

2. Car of the week

My personal pick of the week!

2017 Cadillac CTS-V

Final bid: $42,750 USD

The 2017 Cadillac CTS-V is a high-performance luxury sedan. It's powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine from the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, producing a massive 640 horsepower. This makes it a serious competitor to German sports sedans, offering blistering speed and impressive handling, all wrapped in a stylish, well-appointed package.

2019 Dodge Challenger

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.
