The performance of major international auctions serves as an excellent barometer for market trends. To get an idea of what 2023 represented, let’s consider three aspects: the trend of total turnover, average car sale prices, and the number of cars sold above one million Dollars/Euros.

It’s important to note that the data we refer to does not include online auctions. The reason is a practical one: while in-person auctions allow for precise data collection at the event’s conclusion, online auctions publish results in their financial statements, so these won’t be available until spring.
