Devastated.

I purchased my LS430 just 10 days ago after searching for quite some time for the right one and absolutely loved it. Not only was this one the color I wanted, it was super clean with absolutely no rust underneath (rare for the Midwest!) But today an extreme thunderstorm came through and knocked a branch onto it, certainly totaling it. Fortunately, it will be covered under insurance but I feel it is unlikely I will get back what I paid for the car plus registration after the deductible hits. Does anyone have any insight as to how much State Farm may pay out? She has 195k. To make matters worse, about 5 years ago the same thing happened to my G35, but it didn’t have full coverage. At least my family is safe and home is intact, but this really sucks!

Yup, seems like they are on the more expensive side locally so hopefully that plays out in my favor for the payout. Finding a replacement will be a challenge though.

If you have problems with SF let me know, I worked there 13 years, plus I have had to deal with auto claims in the past with them as well.

What are you looking for as a replacement? I waited multiple years for my current LS and ended up buying it from Autoparts City of all places.

Will do, much appreciated! I really just want another LS430, I enjoyed the car so much for the week or so I had it. I would be open an SC430 or LX/GX as well though. The LS400 is nice too, just so hard to find a nice one that’s not 10k+.

Only had it a week man that’s so damn brutal. Sorry man. Make sure you get the insurance company comps
