I'm sure there's a ton of cars that got hammered last night on the lots. What kind of deals do people normally get at a time like this?
(I'm not looking, just curious)

They decide based on damage for discounts and such... and I refuse to play your Chinese mind games lol
After insurance is done they will be sold at a discount, how much depends on what insurance pays. If they are damaged enough to be totalled then the insurance company will take them just like they would with an individual

Don't expect to see 'Hail Damaged Discounts' at a dealership.
IF the car is sufficiently damaged that it must be branded as "hail damaged" then it goes straight to Closed Non-Public Auction.
IF the car is totaled, then the Insurance takes it and will sell it at a Closed Insurance Auction.
IF the car is damaged but repairable, then the insurance will cut the dealership a check to fix it, they'll fix it and stick it on the lot as 'NEW' since they're allowed to do that as long as the car was not totaled.
SO...you won't be seeing anything with a discount on any dealership, and even if it was damaged, you'll never know it...

Interesting, always wondered about this.
One thing though, the next few weeks is a great time to look for hail-damaged good deals on Craigslist (private party & maybe some used lots). My folks got a sweet deal on a 2003 low-miles Mercedez C240 sedan. Loaded, and excellent condition all-around, except some hail damage to roof that was barely noticeable. Only $13k!

You saw HUGE discounts off the MSRP here in Arizona when we had that massive hail storm 1 1/2 years ago at the dealerships... of course when you factored in the damage / salvaged title... It wasn't a deal, they just tried to convince you of such.

I figured either you or Chris would chime in on that!

Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
QFT! ... you just build out the garage.
