January 6, 2025
December 22 - December 28, 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.

My personal pick of the week!
2024 BMW 840 Gran Coupe
Final bid: $45,500 USD
The 2024 BMW 840i Gran Coupe is a sleek, four-door luxury sport sedan that combines the elegant, low-slung profile of a coupe with the practical everyday usability of a sedan.1It is powered by a smooth 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline-six engine that produces 335 horsepower, delivering a refined yet athletic driving experience.
3. The most interesting lots
The best cars this week that deserve your attention
2019 Aston Martin DB11
Final bid: $52,000 USD
The 2019 Aston Martin DB11 AMR Signature Edition is a rare, high-performance grand tourer that represents the peak of the DB11 lineup. It is powered by a 5.2-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine producing 630 horsepower, enabling it to reach a top speed of 208 mph. The interior mirrors this bold look with Dark Knight leather and lime contrast stitching, combining raw power with bespoke British luxury.
1957 Ford Thunderbird
Final bid: $20,500 USD
The 1957 Ford Thunderbird is a classic two-seat "personal luxury" convertible that represents the final and most refined year of the original, small-bodied "Baby Birds." The 1957 model is easily distinguished by its canted rear tailfins, a larger front grille, and a lengthened rear deck that allowed the spare tire to move from the bumper back into the trunk. It remains iconic for its optional removable hardtop with circular "porthole" windows and its blend of mid-century style with effortless cruising comfort.
2023 Rivian R1T
Final bid: $22,550 USD
The 2023 Rivian R1T Adventure is an all-electric, luxury pickup truck designed for both high-end commuting and serious off-road exploration. Notable for its clever storage, it features a unique "Gear Tunnel" running through the center of the truck and a large front trunk (frunk). The Adventure trim elevates the experience with a premium vegan leather interior, natural ash wood accents, and a sophisticated adjustable air suspension.
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.
