February 9 - February 15, 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.

My personal pick of the week!

The 2021 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is a high-performance muscle car that balances retro styling with massive modern power.

The best cars this week that deserve your attention
1960 Cadillac Deville
Final bid: $23,750 USD
The 1960 Cadillac DeVille is an iconic luxury cruiser that represents the pinnacle of American automotive styling from the "Tailfin Era." Under the hood, it featured a smooth 390 cubic-inch V8 engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, delivering a quiet and effortless driving experience. Inside, the DeVille was a masterclass in mid-century comfort, offering expansive bench seats, high-quality upholstery, and advanced features for its time, such as power windows and power seats.

Final bid: $22,200 USD
The 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV 3WT (Work Truck) is an all-electric full-size pickup designed specifically for utility and fleet performance.

The 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is a modern tribute to the legendary 300SL, most famous for its iconic gullwing doors that swing upward. It was the first car designed entirely from the ground up by AMG, featuring a lightweight aluminum spaceframe and a front-mid engine layout for balanced handling.
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.
