Vol.153

October 14, 2025

September 29 - October 5, 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.

3. The most interesting lots

The best cars this week that deserve your attention

1965 Back Cobra

Final bid: $34,700 USD

A 1965 Backdraft Cobra is not a vintage car but a modern, hand-built replica inspired by the classic Shelby Cobra, produced by Backdraft Racing. These roadsters combine a classic look with modern engineering, featuring powerful V8 engines (like the Ford Coyote or 427), modern manual transmissions, and performance suspension components, often using BMW parts for the rear axle and suspension.

2025 Jeep Gladiator

Final bid: $44,950 USD

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator by SoFlo Customs is a massively upgraded, custom off-road truck. It features a custom lift kit, oversized off-road tires, and aggressive styling from unique parts like a Raider hood and custom bumper/grille combinations. 

1993 Acura NSX

Final bid: $42,500 USD

The 1993 Acura NSX is a legendary mid-engine, two-seater Japanese sports car known for its blend of exotic performance and everyday Honda reliability. It was the first mass-produced car with an all-aluminum body and chassis. It is powered by a 3.0-liter V6 engine featuring Honda's VTEC technology, which produces 270 horsepower and can rev to an 8,000 rpm redline. Developed with input from F1 champion Ayrton Senna, the NSX was designed to rival more expensive European supercars while offering superior handling and user-friendliness.

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.

2022 Porsche 911

Selling this vehicle will be difficult. The previous condition is just horrific!I would stay away from it!

2017 Tesla Model S

Auctions: 152

It's always important to check autoAstat before buying cars at salvage auto auctions.

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.
