March 4 - March 10, 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!
2003 FERRARI 360 MODENA
Final bid: $53,025 USD
The 2003 Ferrari 360 Modena Spider isn't just a convertible, it's a dream machine transformed from a coveted coupe. Sleek Italian curves whisper timeless design, while the retractable hardtop disappears in just 14 seconds, unveiling the thrill of open-air motoring. Don't be fooled by its elegance, though. This Ferrari is a force to be reckoned with. A 400-horsepower engine catapults you from 0-60 mph in a heart-stopping 4.5 seconds. Sharp handling and agile suspension make carving corners a pure delight. It's a driver's car, begging to be pushed to its limits.

The best cars this week that deserve your attention
2017 MERCEDES-BENZ G-CLASS
Final bid: $80,500
Indestructible Icon, Modernized Muscle. The 2017 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G550 isn't just an SUV, it's a legend. This G-Class isn't your average luxury SUV. Sure, the interior boasts premium materials and cutting-edge tech, but its heart belongs to the wilderness. Commanding ground clearance and permanent all-wheel drive conquer any terrain, while the iconic three-differential lock system ensures you get a grip on any situation.
2014 NISSAN GT-R
Final bid: $40,750 USD
Godzilla Roars in a Refined Den. The 2014 Nissan GT-R Premium isn't your average sports car. Imagine a sleek, aggressive silhouette whispering "performance" in every line. Beneath the hood lies a legendary twin-turbocharged 3.8L V6, a modern-day Godzilla ready to unleash a fury of 480 horsepower.
1996 PORSCHE 911
Final bid: $40,600 USD
The 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 isn't just a sports car, it's a legacy in motion. Under the hood, a legendary 3.6L flat-six engine purrs with classic Porsche character, delivering 285 horsepower of thrilling performance. This isn't a car about outright speed; it's about the pure joy of driving. Handling is what the 911 Carrera 4 is all about. Precise steering and a communicative chassis make every corner a delight. The all-wheel drive adds another layer of control, inspiring confidence in all weather conditions.
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.
