May 18 - May 24, 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.

The best cars this week that deserve your attention
2017 Ford Shelby GT350
Final bid: $20,550 USD
The 2017 Ford Shelby GT350 is a track-focused masterpiece famous for its high-revving 5.2L "Voodoo" V8, which utilizes a flat-plane crankshaft to produce 526 hp and a unique, exotic exhaust note. It comes exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission and features a standard MagneRide damping system that allows for razor-sharp handling on both the street and the circuit. For the 2017 model year, the previously optional Track Package became standard, ensuring every car left the factory with oil, transmission, and differential coolers for sustained high-performance driving.
1992 Porsche 911
Final bid: $88,500 USD
The 1992 Porsche 911, part of the refined 964 generation, features an air-cooled 3.6L flat-six engine that produces 247 horsepower. This model year introduced significant engineering leaps like coil-spring suspension and ABS brakes while retaining the classic upright headlights and silhouette of the original 911 design.
2019 Aston Martin DBS
Final bid: $86,250 USD
The 2019 Aston Martin DBS Superleggera is a flagship "Super GT" that pairs a carbon-fiber-intensive body with a monstrous 5.2L twin-turbo V12 producing 715 hp and 663 lb-ft of torque. It features aggressive aerodynamics, including the innovative Aeroblade II system, which generates significant downforce to keep the car planted at its 211 mph top speed.
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.
