August 4, 2026
July 20 - July 26, 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.

2024 Audi RS 6 Avant
Final bid: $71,925 USD
The 2024 Audi RS 6 Avant Performance is an ultra-high-performance luxury wagon powered by an upgraded 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine that pumps out 621 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque.

Final bid: $40,000 USD
The 1991 Acura NSX is a mid-engine sports car that proved exotic supercar performance could be paired with Honda's legendary daily reliability and refined ergonomics.

The 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 is a track-focused sports car powered by a high-revving, naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six engine that delivers 502 horsepower and revs up to a spine-tingling 9,000 rpm. It features a motorsport-derived double-wishbone front suspension and a distinctive "swan-neck" rear wing for extraordinary cornering precision.
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.
