The point has been made by others, but if your insurance company doesn't know enough about Saabs to know that all models in the US in that year are Turbo, you want to go with a different insurance company. Shop around, you'll probably save money in the process, even by sticking with the "big names". I had an insurance company who wanted to put aftermarket glass in my c900 when the windshield got broken, "because Saab parts are so expensive". I pointed out that I'd been paying a high premium all these years, "because Saab parts are so expensive", and that I wouldn't acccept substandard glass. Then I mentioned the state of Wisconsin law saying that I didn't have to accept aftermarket crap, and they saw my point (but lost me as a customer due to the tactic). There's a possibility that if they are playing _this_ game with you as far as models, they may be equally clueless when it comes to replacement parts. American Family isn't annoying far as I've seen, for what that's worth. > If there is a grey area, you will need to document what you have or ask > your agent if you can pay the premium for a CSE and only have a CS. Naah, if they don't have your model in their book, the claims adjuster will use that as an excuse to not pay out at all because you gave them an "easy out". That's their job, to reduce costs to their employer. Find a company with a clue about your car. Dave Hinz
