I was ready to fly to Chicago to buy and drive home a 2003 aero with 29k..and was Saab Certified. As a last check, I asked about the service records, and was assured everything was in order. I took the extra precaution of running the VIN at my dealer...guess what, the car had seen a dealer once, at 750 mi prior to this Chicago area dealer buying the car and doing major warranty work prior to offering for sale as a CPO.
When confronted, the saleman pleaded ignorance and assured me the CPO would cover this car as "Saab" said there were records that musteriously just didn't show up.
I said OK, but I'll require written confirmation of same from Saab, as well as a confirmation that the sludge extended warranty is in effect.
At this point, the saleman said "sorry we can't help you this time...try us on your next Saab" FAT CHANCE!
I'm still smokin'...if Saab dealers are hiding the potential sludge issues...who can a person trust on this issue. This episode sent me to the Infinity, Lexus, BMW, and Cadilac dealers. I'm either driving my 9000 to my grave or its, or I'm leaving for an Infinity M35!
