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?
Better to read your t&c before you call. I would read them carefully, see how the written document defines the term and then, if you are not excluded, call back and point to the specific terms.
