April 6 - April 12, 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!
2023 Porsche 911
Final bid: $131,500 USD
The 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S is a high-performance all-wheel-drive coupe powered by a 3.0L twin-turbo flat-six engine producing 443 horsepower. Equipped with an 8-speed PDK transmission, it can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds when equipped with the Sport Chrono Package. It remains a benchmark for the "992" generation, offering a perfect balance of daily usability and track-ready agility with its wider body and advanced traction management systems.

The best cars this week that deserve your attention
2025 McLaren GTS
Final bid: $84,000 USD
The 2025 McLaren GTS is a refreshed evolution of the GT, featuring a more powerful 626-hp twin-turbo V8 that enables a 0–60 mph sprint in just 3.1 seconds. The Performance trim emphasizes a technical, track-focused aesthetic with Alcantara and sporty accents, while the TechLux (Technical Luxury) trim leans into a "sophisticated" feel using premium Softgrain Aniline leather and refined interior finishes.
1968 Chevrolet Camaro
Final bid: $25,000 USD
The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro is a hallmark of the first-generation pony car, featuring subtle design updates like the introduction of side marker lights and the removal of side vent windows. With its iconic "coke bottle" styling and refined Astro Ventilation system, it remains one of the most sought-after American muscle cars for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
2024 Ford F-150
Final bid: $61,500 USD
The 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor is a high-performance off-road pickup featuring a 720-hp supercharged V8 in the Raptor R. This model year introduces updated Fox Dual Live Valve shocks for superior terrain damping and a revised front-end design with new LED headlights and modular bumper options. Inside, it balances ruggedness with high-end tech, offering a standard 12-inch digital cluster and a 14-speaker B&O sound system for a premium desert-running experience.
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.
