Vol.161

December 9, 2025

November 24 - November 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.

3. The most interesting lots

The best cars this week that deserve your attention

1960 Chevrolet Impala

Final bid: $24,000 USD

The 1960 Chevrolet Impala is a classic American full-size car from the era of chrome and extravagant styling. It is easily recognized by its distinctive, elaborate design, featuring a series of six separate taillights and a less exaggerated, more toned-down profile compared to the huge fins of the 1959 model. It offered a luxurious ride and a range of powerful V8 engines, making it a highly desirable car for both cruising and customizers.

2022 Jeep Wrangler

Final bid: $34,100 USD

The 2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392 Fab Fours JL is an extremely powerful, heavily customized off-road vehicle. It starts as the factory Rubicon 392, which packs a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine making 470 horsepower, giving the Wrangler brutal speed. The Fab Fours JL designation means the vehicle has been upgraded with highly aggressive Fab Fours body armor, typically including their signature stubby bumpers, rock sliders, and fender flares.

2019 Aston Martin Vantage

Final bid: $52,000 USD

The 2019 Aston Martin Vantage Base is a sharp, two-seat luxury sports coupe defined by its striking, aggressive styling and dynamic performance. It is powered by a Mercedes-AMG-sourced 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 503 horsepower. This model combines the thrilling performance capabilities and handling of a sports car with the comfort and luxurious materials expected of the Aston Martin brand.

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.
