4. 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.
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.

8. Price analysis
This week, I am taking a look at one of the most beloved sports cars of recent years: the 2015-2020 Ford Mustang (S550)
2015-20 FORD MUSTANG
You can see that the average price for the car was the cheapest in December 2022. So now is still the best time to buy a Ford Mustang!
