June 18, 2024

June 3 - June 9, 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 LAMBORGHINI HURACAN

Final bid: $140,000 USD

The 2020 Lamborghini Huracán EVO isn't a remodel, it's a raging bull unleashed. More power, sharper claws (handling), and a sculpted aerodynamic form make it a force to be reckoned with. Selectable personalities let you tame it for a cruise or unleash its fury on the track. Huracán EVO is a supercar evolution that redefines exhilaration.

3. The most interesting lots

The best cars this week that deserve your attention

2016 PORSCHE 911

Final bid: $88,500 USD

The 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS is a track-focused beast barely tamed for the road. Brace yourself for monstrous downforce, sticky tires that hug corners, and a 0-60 mph blast in just 3.1 seconds. This isn't a daily driver loaded with infotainment features; it prioritizes pure driving pleasure. While the ride might be stiff on public roads, on the track, it's a scalpel of precision.

2021 BENTLEY BENTAYGA

Final bid: $89,275 USD

The 2021 Bentley Bentayga Hybrid isn't your average SUV. It's a silent symphony of luxury and sustainability. A powerful yet eco-conscious heart propels you in unparalleled comfort, while the world listens in hushed reverence. It's a statement piece for the discerning driver, a testament that elegance and responsibility can co-exist in perfect harmony.

2024 BMW IX

Final bid: $58,100 USD

The 2024 BMW iX xDrive50 isn't just an electric SUV, it's a futuristic vision on the road. Imagine a spacious, tech-laden interior wrapped in a bold, head-turning design. This all-electric beast boasts impressive driving range and neck-snapping acceleration, all while whispering silently down the highway. If you crave a luxurious, electric adventure machine, the iX xDrive50 is a glimpse into the future of driving.

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.

2021 DODGE DURANGO

Selling this vehicle will be difficult. The previous condition is just horrific!I would stay away from it!

It's always important to check autoAstat before buying cars at salvage auto auctions.

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.
