Top sellers of the week

State Farm Insurance was the leader in sales this week. They sold 16,812 cars. They are considered the best insurance company to buy from. Progressive Insurance followed with 12,815 cars sold. Geico insuranse sells cars at the highest bid, so it's worth considering them as a seller next time you're bidding.

2. Car of the week

My personal pick of the week!

2021 PORSCHE TAYCAN

Final bid: $60,500

True EV sports car.The 2021 Porsche Taycan is a top-performing electric sports car that combines impressive performance with luxury and style. While its range may be a concern for some drivers, it remains a highly desirable vehicle for those who value speed, handling, and cutting-edge technology.

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.

2020 FORD F-150

Auctions: 6

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

2016 BUICK ENCORE

Auctions: 173

It's always important to check autoAstat before buying cars at salvage auto auctions.

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.

7. Price analysis

This week, I am taking a look at one of the most popular SUVs: the 2018-22 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

2018-22 CHEVROLET EQUINOX

You can see that the average price for the car was the cheapest in February 2023. So now is still the best time to buy a Chevrolet Equinox!
