I think it costs the selling dealer $1450 to do the CPO; any decent dealer should be willing to show you the CPO work order. On a CPO order I just looked at, it was $1358, which included about $1K in parts (including 4 Gislaved tires), the rest labor.
The selling dealer who does the CPO would not Certify a car which did not pass Saab's basic CPO criteria - which means that the Certification would not put his internal cost over $1450. (FWIW, this particular dealer's internal labor rate was $59/hr.) By checking the car over BEFORE he Certifies it, the selling dealer is making sure that bringing it up to CPO specs will not exceed that target figure.
The basic idea is that only the best cars get certified, but YMMV. My experience is limited to one 9-5 Aero, which has proved to be a really wonderful Saab, now almost 2 years out of CPO warranty. We're looking for another CPO'd car to replace our recently-totalled 9-5 wagon.
If you call the dealer where the repair was made and explain that you're thinking of buying the car, the service guys ordinarily would read you the actual service order tied to the incident. I just did exactly that: the repair part code was for "A/T assembly," but the actual service order was a Tech II analysis, a software reset and a road test which found nothing out of order. No parts replaced.
