March 26, 2024

March 11 - March 17, 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!

2020 TOYOTA SUPRA

Final bid: $43,850 CAD

The 2020 Toyota Supra Base isn't your average Toyota. A sleek, sculpted silhouette whispering "throwback" with a modern edge. Sharp handling and precise steering make the Supra a blast to drive on any winding road. Advanced technology keeps you connected and safe, while available features like a limited-slip differential help you extract maximum grip from every corner. It's for enthusiasts who crave a pure performance experience and a connection to a legendary nameplate. It's a return of the Supra, ready to carve corners and rewrite its own history.

3. The most interesting lots

The best cars this week that deserve your attention

2015 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

Final bid: $45,000 USD

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 3LZ isn't just a Corvette, it's a force to be reckoned with. Imagine a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette whispering performance, housing a supercharged 6.2L V8 that roars with a monstrous 650 horsepower. This isn't your average Chevy. The Z06 boasts a track-tuned suspension and advanced aerodynamics for superior handling and downforce. It's a beast on the racetrack, but the 3LZ trim adds a touch of luxury to the equation.

2023 GMC HUMMER EV

Final bid: $60,300 USD

The 2023 GMC Hummer EV Edition 1, an electric beast that whispers sustainability while devouring trails. Forget the gas-guzzlers of the past. This Hummer boasts a triple-motor drivetrain, shredding the 0-60 mph sprint in a mind-bending 3.5 seconds. It's not just fast; crabwalk mode lets you defy any obstacle, while ultravision cameras provide a 360-degree view for navigating tight spots.

1988 PORSCHE 911

Final bid: $45,000 USD

The 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera isn't just a car, it's a legend on wheels. Under the hood, a potent 3.2L flat-six engine purrs with classic Porsche character, delivering an exhilarating driving experience. This is the era that solidified the 911's reputation for impeccable handling. Precise steering and a communicative chassis make every corner a delight. The rear-wheel-drive layout puts driving pleasure at the forefront, offering a pure connection between car and driver.

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.

2022 FORD F-150

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.
