Vol.189

June 23, 2026

June 8 - June 14, 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!

2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV

Final bid: $40,000 USD

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV 4LT serves as a high-tier option in the electric truck lineup, offering a potent dual-motor electronic 4WD system that delivers up to 760 horsepower. Built on GM's rigid Ultium platform, this model features an innovative Multi-Flex Midgate that expands the 5'11" cargo bed directly into the cabin to accommodate oversized items.

The best cars this week that deserve your attention

2024 Nissan Z

Final bid: $23,600 USD

The 2024 Nissan Z Performance is a sharp retro-modern sports coupe powered by a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine that channels 400 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Upgrading over the base Sport trim, the Performance model sharpens its track handling with a mechanical limited-slip differential, larger Akebono brakes with red calipers, and staggered 19-inch RAYS forged alloy wheels.

1971 Chevrolet Malibu

Final bid: $38,250 USD

The 1971 Chevrolet Malibu, the premium trim level of the popular Chevelle lineup, received a notable styling refresh featuring a revised front grille and a transition to large, singular round headlights housed in square bezels. The '71 Malibu beautifully balanced classic mid-size muscle car appeal with everyday comfort, utilizing a plush interior, a smooth coil-spring suspension, and a wood-grain accented dashboard layout.

2017 Lotus Evora 400

Final bid: $35,000 USD

The 2017 Lotus Evora 400 is an agile, mid-engine sports car powered by a supercharged 3.5L V6 engine that pumps out 400 horsepower. It stands out as a rare exotic that offers a tight 2+2 seating layout, pairing track-tuned Bilstein dampers and AP Racing brakes with everyday luxuries like heated seats and a built-in infotainment system.

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.

2025 Cadillac Escalade

Auctions: 3

Selling this vehicle will be difficult. The previous condition is just horrific!I would stay away from it!

It's always important to check autoAstat before buying cars at salvage auto auctions.

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.
