January 12 - January 18, 2026
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!
2015 Ferrari FF
Final bid: $72,500 USD
The 2015 Ferrari FF (Ferrari Four) is a high-performance grand tourer famous for its unique "shooting brake" (hatchback) design and genuine four-seat practicality. It is powered by a 6.3-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 651 horsepower, enabling a 0–60 mph sprint in just 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 208 mph. Its standout feature is the innovative 4RM all-wheel-drive system, which was Ferrari's first AWD setup, designed to provide exceptional grip in all weather conditions while being significantly lighter than traditional systems.

The best cars this week that deserve your attention
1997 Porsche 911
Final bid: $96,000 USD
The 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (C4S) is one of the most sought-after models of the 993 generation, which was the final era of the air-cooled 911s. It is powered by a 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six engine featuring the VarioRam induction system, producing 282 horsepower. As a "4S" model, it features Porsche's all-wheel-drive system for superior traction and stability.
2025 Volkswagen ID Buzz
Final bid: $31,000 USD
The 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz First Edition is a modern, all-electric rebirth of the classic VW Microbus, combining retro-nostalgia with cutting-edge EV technology.Available exclusively for the model's launch year, it features a 91-kWh battery. The First Edition is based on the top-tier Pro S Plus trim but adds unique collector touches like "1st Edition" exterior badging, exclusive 20-inch wheels, and heritage-inspired floor mats.
2012 Aston Martin Virage
Final bid: $31,750 USD
The 2012 Aston Martin Virage Volante is a rare, open-top grand tourer that was produced for only a single model year, designed to bridge the gap between the refined DB9 and the aggressive DBS. It is powered by a 6.0L V12 engine producing 490 hp, mated to a 6-speed Touchtronic II automatic transmission. The "Volante" designation indicates it is a convertible, while the 2+2 layout provides seating for four, though the rear seats are best suited for extra luggage or very small passengers.
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.
