2. Car of the week
My personal pick of the week!
2016 BMW M4 GTS
Final bid: $57,400
As a track tool with road-approval and a lot of power, the BMW M4 GTS could be described as radical. However, this would not do justice to the 2016 BMW M vehicle, which was limited to 700 units. Here, state-of-the-art technology from motorsport has been implemented in a vehicle that excels both on the race track and on the country road with the highest levels of performance – and at the same time being able to stand up to any kind of opponent. Outstanding power to weight ratio. Lightweight interior. Maximum performance. Excellent purchase!
3. The most interesting lots
The best cars this week that deserve your attention
1999 AM GENERAL HUMMER
Final bid: $48,000 USD
Land Rover claims to be the “best 4 x 4 x far.” And Jeep says its Grand Cherokee is “the most capable sport-utility ever.”
Those are cute slogans. But long after the Rover and Jeep are buried up to their axles in mud, the Hummer will still be going strong.
I don’t think the Hummer can be stopped — unless it’s purposely plunged into a lake or steered off a cliff.
The Hummer makes no effort to coddle the driver in a leather and wood-lined cocoon. Aside from a decent radio, there isn’t much in the way of luxury features.
The price is very high on this vehicle not because of luxury amenities but because of its astounding ability to go anywhere at anytime. Rough terrain and life-threatening weather conditions do nothing to slow down the Hummer. It was designed to absorb the toughest abuse the military can dish out.
2020 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE
Final bid: $65,500 USD
The 2020 Aston Martin Vantage elicits a profound emotional response. It transcends the realm of mere transportation and becomes an embodiment of passion, beauty, and freedom. It's a testament to human ingenuity and the pursuit of perfection. It's a reminder that sometimes, in the face of adversity, something truly extraordinary can emerge.
But beyond its sheer performance, the 2020 Aston Martin Vantage becomes a companion, a source of solace in a chaotic world. It's there to embrace you during moments of solitude, offering an escape from the mundane. It becomes a trusted ally, accompanying you on unforgettable journeys and creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
2017 ACURA NSX
Final bid: $68,500 USD
The 2017 Acura NSX is a car that elicits a whirlwind of emotions from the depths of your being. From the moment you lay eyes on its striking and futuristic design, you're immediately captivated by its sheer presence. The sleek lines and aggressive stance create a visual masterpiece that exudes power and sophistication.
As you slide into the driver's seat, you're engulfed in a world of precision and luxury. But it's when you bring the NSX to life that your heart truly races. The roar of the twin-turbocharged V6 engine combined with the electric motors ignites a fire within your soul. The seamless integration of hybrid technology and raw power creates an orchestra of performance that pushes the boundaries of what you thought was possible.
The NSX is an embodiment of passion, technology, and the sheer joy of driving, creating a connection that will forever remain etched in your heart.
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 EV's of recent years: the 2020-2023 TESLA MODEL Y
2020-2023 TESLA MODEL Y
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 Tesla Model Y!
