As far as extended warranties are concerned, the factory Saab CPO is a steal and an excellent product compared to other commercially availible warranty policies.
Although a nice car can be found anywhere, a CPO does have a layer of inspection and selection that's beyond the norm. CarFax, service history and the assurance that the wear items are all well above 50% as well as cosmetic standards are all part of the CPO process that a private party or a small used car dealer may or may not be concerened with.
Saab dealers get first crack at the lease return auctions for the nicest cars. That selection process and the CPO process itself isn't designed to make the most attractive price, but while not being the least expensive, there is a whole bunch real value in a CPO.
How car savvy are you? The value of the CPO process is embraced even by folks who are very Saab savvy.
As the manufacturer has vested interest in making off lease cars desirable, to support the residual and resale value, Saab offers cheap money on CPO cars too. 2.9% 36 mos, 3.9% 48 mos and 4.9% 60 most that's relatively easy to qualify for even without a down payment.
