Vol.191

July 7, 2026

June 22 - June 28, 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!

2020 Bentley Continental GT

Final bid: $87,500 USD

The 2020 Bentley Continental GT is a quintessential ultra-luxury grand tourer that pairs muscular performance with exquisite, handcrafted British tailoring. The opulent cabin accommodates four passengers in diamond-quilted leather seats alongside tech-forward elements like the innovative three-sided Bentley Rotating Display and advanced three-chamber air suspension.

3. The most interesting lots

The best cars this week that deserve your attention

2019 Porsche 718 Cayman

Final bid: $26,775 USD

The 2019 Porsche 718 Cayman Base is a precise, mid-engine sports coupe renowned for its exceptional balance and razor-sharp handling dynamics. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0L flat-four engine that routes 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels, launching it from 0-60 mph in as little as 4.5 seconds with the optional PDK transmission. 

1963 Chevrolet Impala

Final bid: $36,000 USD

The 1963 Chevrolet Impala is a legendary classic cruiser defined by its crisp, straightened side panels and the iconic "triple-unit" round taillights set into an aluminum rear trim panel. Celebrated for its smooth ride and distinct styling, the '63 model remains one of the most recognizable and highly sought-after muscle-era lowrider platforms in automotive history.

2026 Lucid Gravity

Final bid: $29,550 USD

The 2026 Lucid Gravity Grand Touring is a flagship all-electric, three-row luxury SUV that delivers an astounding 828 horsepower and 909 lb-ft of torque through its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system. Built on an advanced 926-volt architecture, it achieves an industry-leading EPA-estimated range of up to 450 miles on a single charge and can recover 200 miles of range in under 11 minutes at a compatible DC fast charger. 

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.

2023 Audi Q8

Auctions: 9

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

2017 Infiniti Q50

Auctions: 111

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.
