Shoppers were on the lot at Paul Moak Honda - Volvo Tuesday. More than 250 vehicles and customer cars were battered by the massive hail storm.

"Well, believe it or not, we have people showing up wants to buy them like they are," said dealership owner Paul Moak, Jr.

Moak says a team of insurance adjusters will come in to assess the total damage. Then the cars will be placed back on the market.
