Default Trade In Value Just Went Down

Now I know what it's reallly like to get hit by a truck. Furniture truck in background did this good job. Didn't know Lexus had a pop out rear window, hell of a way to find out. I was going to upgrade to 2010 IS-F next week.

you can still upgrade, just more of a reason to do it now. Just get it fixed and trade it in

So now you've got all the bargaining position you need to deal with your insurance claim. Handy right there.

Sorry to hear this. At least it was your old car that got hit. My dad traded an ES330 on a GS350 and the GS got hit by a construction truck less than a month after purchase.
