Top sellers of the week

State Farm Insurance was the leader in sales this week. They sold 15,627 cars. They are considered the best insurance company to buy from. Progressive Insurance followed with 12,297 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!

2020 JEEP WRANGLER

Final bid: $60,275

Oh my goodness, this 2020 Jeep Wrangler is an absolute monster truck! The sight of its rugged exterior and powerful 6 wheels gives me chills. It's like a wild animal ready to conquer any terrain, whether it's a rocky mountain trail or a muddy swamp. And when you're behind the wheel, you feel like nothing can stop you. It's a true thrill ride, and you can't help but feel like a total badass while driving it. This Wrangler is a true masterpiece of engineering and a real off-road beast!

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.

2021 CADILLAC ESCALADE

Auctions: 4

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

2020 CHEVROLET CAMARO

Auctions: 88

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.
