| You are "entitled" to the following:
1) Equivalent parts. This means that your used car, could have used ('recycled') parts.
2) Your existing car may be a Mercedes or a Ferrari, it is still 'transportation'. You don't have a right to 'equivalent' transportation unless required for another reason (pickup for work could require a pickup for replacement, etc.).
However, there are specific state requirements for the use of these 'used' or aftermarket parts:
"State Law requires that the use of aftermarket parts must be identified on the repair invoice. Some automobile body replacement parts are equal, better, or worse than Original Equipment Manufactured (OEM) parts. Consumers should take note of the following:
(1) Check your invoice. State law requires that the type of automobile parts used in repairs must be identified on the repair invoice. Consumers should carefully check their invoice to ensure that the automobile body shop has identified each automobile part as being one of the following: new, used, reconditioned, rebuilt, or an OEM crash part, or a non-OEM aftermarket crash part.
(2) Insurance companies are required under the Fair Claims Settlement Practices Regulations to warrant that replacement parts are of like kind, quality, safety, fit, and performance as that of original equipment manufacturer replacement crash parts."

There are at least 17 lawsuits (!!) pending in various courts, including the US Supreme Court, asking if Obama is a natural born citizen (as req'd by Art II, Sec 1 of the US Constitution).
Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport!
