Cars Destroyed/Damaged by Hurricane Sandy



After the destructive Hurricane Sandy swept through city by city, the aftermath was very apparent. Major structual damage due to the flooding and high winds of the storm. Along with that, an estimated 200,000 cars were damaged reuslting in millions of dollars in loss. Which has taken a big hit on the automotive industry influencing higher sales prices on cars to make up for the loss. But one automaker took a big hit, Fisker. 15 000 brand new cars were at the New Jersey Port waiting to be distributed when the storm hit and resulted in a total loss. Amoung the 15 000, 320 of those were Fisker Karmas. At $100,000 a Karma, Fisker took a total loss of $32 million. This will hault production for Fisker and put major delay on getting them to there customers. Luckily all the 320 cars are covered by insurance.
