Default '03 LS430 Accident, Totaled and Looking For Another

My pristine '03 Nav/ML with around 82k was involved in an accident with a Ford F450 truck and totaled. I was originally thinking of moving up to a LS460 but would rather get another LS430. If anyone knows of a nice '05 or '06, I would appreciate knowing about it.

In addition, if anyone could check out a car in Houston I would be grateful. Thank you, enjoy the pictures.

No fatalities but still healing. Loved the car, looking hard for another one.

Good nobody hurt. I saw a uber low miles one on cars.com, and wondered if it's worth paying a premium? It's at least a CL....

Looks like it's gone already... Must have been a better deal than you thought?

Sorry to hear this happened. Glad you are unscathed..

I wish you could. If it was up to me, you would be welcome to whatever you like. Unfortunately, you will have to find the salvage dealer that purchased the car from the insurance company and pay their price.

When I was in college, my buddy had a car that cost him $200, was junk, and he outwaited the other party's adjuster, and got like $1800 for the car, when they initially offered $500.

My parents years ago had a car totaled out, so I told them to not accept the first offer. After two months, the adjuster didn't budge at all. Personally, I'm curious what changed where the insurance co. today seems to have all the power (that lizard co. made me argue for a OE windshield, and last Fri. a tree fell on coworker's wife's BMW, same arguing going on whether OE parts or aftermarket or used, and the car is only about 18 mos. old)...

p.s. I was eyeing your parking sensors haha--good luck finding the replacement--get the new used LS exactly like you want it (for me I like the CLs)
