2. Car of the week
My personal pick of the week!
2022 RAM 1500
Final bid: $71,500 USD
The 2022 RAM 1500 TRX SB isn't your ordinary pickup truck. It's a fire-breathing monster wrapped in a muscular shell, built to conquer any terrain you throw at it. Under the hood lies a supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine pumping out a monstrous 702 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. This translates to neck-snapping acceleration and the ability to tow or haul almost anything you need. Forget pavement. The TRX SB boasts exceptional ground clearance, massive off-road tires, and FOX shock absorbers. It tackles rocks, mud, and sand with ease, making it a true off-road dominator.

2022 BMW ALPINA XB7
Final bid: $79,000 USD
The 2022 BMW Alpina XB7 isn't just another luxury SUV; it's a powerful statement piece with a touch of European sophistication.

The 2013 Bentley Mulsanne wasn't just a car, it was a rolling statement of luxury. The Mulsanne wasn't about chasing trends; it focused on refined elegance that would never go out of style. Under the hood purred a mighty 6.75L twin-turbocharged V8 engine, effortlessly propelling this grand tourer down the road. The focus wasn't on neck-breaking acceleration, but on smooth, powerful performance that whispered luxury with every press of the pedal. From the polished wood accents to the soft leather upholstery, skilled artisans ensured that every detail exuded elegance and quality.
2020 LAND ROVER DEFENDER
Final bid: $44,000 USD
The 2020 Land Rover Defender P400 110 First Edition wasn't just another Defender; it was a celebration of Land Rover's off-road legacy with a touch of exclusivity. This special edition marked the return of the legendary Defender nameplate. It boasted unique design elements and a limited production run, making it a coveted collector's item for Land Rover enthusiasts. Special exterior touches like a unique paint color, distinctive wheels, and "First Edition" badges set this Defender apart from the crowd.
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.
