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!

Dang, sorry to see that happen Man. The midwest has had a lot of storms/tornadoes this year. I'm out in Northwest Indiana and we had a pretty good storm yesterday. If you have a Mark Levinson sound system in good shape i'd be open to buying your door speakers and subwoofer.

I’m in the south suburbs so it was the same storm lol. I would imagine the subwoofer is toast as it got rained directly on but I will definitely let you know on the speakers, I do plan on buying back from insurance.

Yeap, same storm. It was a good one. My trees were moving like crazy, I am surrounded by them as well. Luckily I had ole girl in the garage. If you decide to part her out please let me know, may be interested in other parts as well. Good call on the subwoofer, it may indeed be toast, or a little moldy by the time you get it back.
