My 86 5kCSQ is MORE expensive to insure than my 97 A4 1.8TQ... work that one
out.  It was a 13k$ job to fix the 90Q when it was hit, the same hit on
the 5k would total it for around $4k.  I'd bet the same hit on the A4
would be $13k job too.  It's also cheaper to insure our 18 year old on
a new Chevy S10 than either Audi (still frightening).

This is State Farm.  At least if you do need to make a claim, they just give
you a list of shops to choose from... and it's a very long list so most
likely you get the shop of your choice.
