March 30 - April 5, 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!
2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
Final bid: $80,500 USD
The 2024 Mercedes-AMG GT 55 is a reimagined grand tourer that introduces a more practical 2+2 seating layout and standard fully variable 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. It is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 producing 469 hp, enabling a 0-60 mph sprint in 3.8 seconds. The interior is a high-tech sanctuary featuring a 11.9-inch portrait touchscreen and the latest MBUX infotainment system, blending sports car aggression with daily-driver luxury.
3. The most interesting lots
The best cars this week that deserve your attention
2021 Audi RS 7
Final bid: $42,750 USD
The 2021 Audi RS 7 is a high-performance "Sportback" that combines a sleek, four-door fastback silhouette with a potent 591 hp twin-turbo V8 engine. It features a sophisticated mild-hybrid system and quattro all-wheel drive, allowing it to launch from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.
1972 Aston Martin DBS
Final bid: $44,500 USD
The 1972 Aston Martin DBS represents the final year of the model's production and a transition point for the brand, as the "DBS" nameplate was phased out mid-year in favor of the "V8" moniker. Most models from this year featured the powerful 5.3L V8 engine producing approximately 310 hp, though a few were still equipped with the classic 4.0L Vantage straight-six. With its muscular "fastback" styling and four-headlamp front end, it remains an iconic example of British grand touring luxury from the early 1970s.
2004 Dodge Viper
Final bid: $25,250 USD
The 2004 Dodge Viper SRT-10 is an iconic American supercar powered by a massive 8.3L V10 engine producing 500 horsepower and 525 lb-ft of torque. This third-generation "ZB I" model features a dedicated convertible body style and a 6-speed manual transmission, offering a raw, driver-focused experience without electronic stability control.
4. Scam of the week
I've found cars from dealers that had the most auctions or extensive damage and apparent repairs. Remember to check every vehicle of your interest at Copart and IAAI with 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.
