I purchased on of the last MY17 SSV Redlines and when I called to insure it they actually told me that the New For Old would not apply to it (the Mazda 6 I got rid of for it still had it on the policy) so they seemed to know already. I was going to tell them not to bother with it and give me agreed value but didn't need to. Its been on agreed value ever since...
