The answers came flooding in, with most of you thinking it was 20-40. The actual answer was.. drumroll 🥁 please - 57 different makes.

Yesterday seemed to be a bit of a tough day for many platforms, as reflected in both the sales figures and sell-through rates. However, kudos to Collecting Cars, who managed to top the charts with the highest-priced car sale of the day (featured below). Despite continuing to facilitate high-priced transactions, their volume of sales has noticeably dipped over recent months. It does beg the question - are sellers still anchoring their pricing strategies to 2022's trends?

1984 Ferrari 512 BBi $345,000

2023 Porsche 911 Turbo S Convertible $288,000

Volvo: A Legacy of Safety and Reliability 🚗❤️

When it comes to safety and reliability, Volvo is a name that stands out in the automotive world. Founded in Sweden in 1927, Volvo has a long-standing reputation for building sturdy vehicles designed to withstand harsh Nordic climates. This focus on durability naturally extended to overall vehicle safety. In fact, Volvo has pioneered numerous safety features that we now take for granted, including the three-point seatbelt!

Beyond safety, Volvos are renowned for their comfort and build quality. Whether it's a classic vintage model or a modern luxury SUV, Volvo cars offer a unique blend of simplicity, functionality, and elegance. As a Volvo enthusiast, I admire their commitment to safety, love their Scandinavian design ethos, and appreciate the sheer joy of driving a well-made car.
