2. Car of the week
My personal pick of the week!
2014 FERRARI CALIFORNIA GT
Final bid: $71,025
The 2014 Ferrari California GT is a true marvel of engineering, and an absolute masterpiece of automotive design. From its sleek lines and aerodynamic curves to its powerful engine and precision handling, this car is a true work of art.
But it's not just the performance that sets this Ferrari apart - it's the emotional connection that it creates with the driver. From the moment you get behind the wheel, you feel an instant connection to the car, and a sense of excitement and anticipation that is impossible to ignore.
It's an incredible car that represents the very best of Italian automotive engineering. It's a car that is both powerful and emotional, and it's sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone lucky enough to experience it.
3. Scam of the week
I've found cars from dealers that had the most auctions or did impressive repairs. Remember to check every vehicle of your interest at Copart and IAAI on autoAstat.
4. 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.
5. Most Expensive Lots SOLD
6. $25 lots

7. Price analysis
This week, I am taking a look at one of the most popular SUVs: the 2017-21 Honda Pilot
2017-21 HONDA PILOT
You can see that the average price for the car was the cheapest in January 2023. So now is still the best time to buy a Honda Pilot!
