Extended warranty Purchase Posted by beardie [Email] ![]() ![]() |
I have a 2006 9.3 2.0T ARC Convert w/ 11,000 miles. New in December 06. When purchased the dealer offered an extended warranty to 100K miles for $2,300. Given the comprehensive warranty coverage Saab offered and 3- years service I declined the extended. They offered to make good on the offer for up to the first year of ownership should I decide to purchase the extended coverage.
Since purchasing I have been in 4-5 times for adjustments and corrections of minor problems that I figured would be common during the first six months of ownership and break in. Annoying little things like bulbs, pinch control or window rebounding, tire replacement, audio issues, parking assist and seat belt switches, nothing I consider major.
Having had time to look in the archives I am now wondering about the importance of adding an extended warranty as there seem to be some pretty significant issues reported for the 9.3's that are "just" out of warranty.
What are the feelings of current Saab-net members about extended warranties and are there warranties you can recommend based on mileage covered, extent of items covered and value for the warranty cost?
I plan on keeping this car for 10+ years, and it given my driving habits will easily put 150-200K miles on it during that time.
