August 24 - August 30, 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 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
Final bid: $44,000 USD
The 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT is a front-mid-engine sports car that combines striking supercar proportions with exceptional long-distance touring capability. Driven by a hand-built twin-turbocharged V8 engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, it delivers explosive power directly to the rear wheels while offering razor-sharp, track-inspired handling.

2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom
Final bid: $101,000 USD
The 2009 Rolls-Royce Phantom Standard Wheelbase is a flagship ultra-luxury sedan that combines imposing presence with handcrafted opulence. Powered by a naturally aspirated 6.75-liter V12 engine, it delivers effortless, whisper-quiet acceleration while insulating passengers in a lavish cabin featuring rear suicide-style coach doors and premium materials.
1970 Chevrolet Corvette
Final bid: $10,400 USD
The 1970 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is a classic American sports car known for its iconic "Mako Shark" inspired body lines and flared wheel arches. Available with potent small-block and big-block V8 engines—including the high-performance LT-1—it delivered muscular acceleration paired with timeless 1970s styling.

Driven by a BMW-sourced 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, it delivers sharp handling and rapid acceleration to the rear wheels.
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.
