this is my worst nightmare. im one of those people with a 20 year old Ls400 in perfect condition mechanically and cosmetically. you know how hard it is to find a 1995 model that hasn't been absolutely beat to death these days? took me 6 months for me to find mine. im so so sorry for your loss cause even though yours is much newer than mine, its rare in your area to begin with plus you have the salt/rust issue on the roads up there that eat at cars like termites thru wood. good luck on your hunt for the next one, cause the 430s are getting JUST old enough at this point to have a hard time finding a pristine one, and old enough now for insurance companies to just write them off even with minor damage. I would sue the F'ing pants off the guy.

To finally follow up, I squeezed $10g plus tax (13% here) out of them.
Now deciding if to grab a good GS I see here with only 105,000 km (~65,000 miles) as I can buy it straight cash or to wait for a good '04-'06 LS.
Long term plan either way is an LS460 SWB in about 18 months.
The struggle continues...

I am told some companies get bonuses or incentives for settling quickly, so if a claim is dragging on it will start to be an eyesore on their books.

The 460s are great but larger than the 430s. Living in an urban setting and parking on the street the 460 will be a bit tougher on parking.....
