I spoke with Amex this morning and they said if the vehicle has an MSRP over $85,000 CAD they will deny the claim. Audi is not on their exotic list but I think this car will exceed $85K MSRP

Any suggestions on what my options are or am I SOL?
The problem is that in Germany, German cars are very expensive! One of the older cars I bought brand new was a 2011 BMW 335xi fully loaded, paid about $75k CAD, BUT in Germany with a very similar specs, it would have cost about $95k CAD in Germany!!!! Its crazy, you'd expect the car to be cheaper in Germany. Anyways needless to say the Audi A8 is an expensive car over $100k CAD and so as an E Class, they are in the upper Luxury Category.
