July 28, 2026

July 13 - July 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!

2022 RAM 1500

Final bid: $66,750 USD

The 2022 RAM 1500 TRX is an extreme high-performance off-road pickup powered by a ferocious 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 engine that produces 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, it rockets from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 3.7 seconds while utilizing 35-inch all-terrain tires and specialized Bilstein adaptive dampers to crush rugged terrain at high speeds.

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.

2020 Dodge Charger

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

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.
