Vol.181

April 28, 2026

April 13 - April 19, 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!

2019 Chevrolet Corvette

Final bid: $74,500 USD

The 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with the 3ZR Premium Equipment Group is the ultimate expression of the C7 generation, powered by a supercharged 6.2L LT5 V8 producing a staggering 755 horsepower. The 3ZR trim elevates the track-focused beast with a luxury-oriented cabin featuring heated and ventilated Napa leather seats, a performance data recorder, and a premium 10-speaker Bose audio system. It remains a historic milestone as the last front-engine Corvette, capable of reaching a top speed of 212 mph.

3. The most interesting lots

The best cars this week that deserve your attention

1991 Acura NSX

Final bid: $37,250 USD

The 1991 Acura NSX is a revolutionary mid-engine supercar that challenged the European establishment by combining exotic performance with Honda’s legendary reliability and ergonomics. It features a lightweight all-aluminum semi-monocoque chassis and a 3.0L VTEC V6 engine that produces 270 hp, developed with input from Formula 1 legend Ayrton Senna. Known for its "everyday supercar" usability and driver-centric cockpit inspired by an F-16 fighter jet, it remains a timeless icon of precision engineering.

2026 Cadillac CT5-V

Final bid: $31,250 USD

The 2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a pinnacle of American sport sedan engineering, powered by a hand-built 6.2L supercharged V8 that delivers 668 horsepower and 659 lb-ft of torque. Capable of exceeding 200 mph, it blends raw, track-focused capability with a tech-forward interior that includes Google built-in integration and a premium AKG audio system.

2003 Ferrari 360

Final bid: $46,750 USD

The 2003 Ferrari 360 Spider is a mid-engine convertible featuring a high-revving 3.6L V8 that produces 400 horsepower and is visible through a clear glass engine cover. It was built with a revolutionary all-aluminum chassis and offers a visceral driving experience whether equipped with the classic 6-speed gated manual or the F1 automated transmission. Known for its screaming exhaust note and Pininfarina-designed curves, it remains a quintessential modern classic in the Ferrari lineup.

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.
