February 6, 2024

January 22 - January 28, 2024

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!

2019 ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE

Final bid: $43 600 USD

Sleek lines whisper sophistication, but beneath the hood roars a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 with 503 untamed horses. One press of the pedal unleashes a symphony of power, propelling you to 60 mph in a heart-stopping 3.8 seconds. Plush leather seats cradle you, while Alcantara accents add a touch of sportiness. Don't be fooled by its beauty, though. The Vantage is a beast on the track. Precision handling and sharp steering let you carve corners with confidence, while the powerful brakes ensure you're always in control.

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.
