Just the hard dollar cost of the 6yr/100,000 mile upgrade is $1,000ish, a pretty good deal by extended warranty price standards.
Certified standards "110 point" do not count individual lug nuts. Considering the 15,000 some odd parts in a typical car it's pretty easy to devise a very thourough list covering 100+ items without counting lug nuts. As a comparison does Saab count the lug nuts in the 1000+ improvements in a 2002 vs a 2001 9-5? No....
Certified standards specify 50% on brake linings, not the 10-20% that some dealers will pass through. Certified standards specify body condition too, can't leave a dent in a certified car. For example in a Certified car someone actually sat in the back seat and checked that area over for required safey items and operation of belts ands standard equipment.
And Certified standards remove all doubt about whether a mechanic should proceed with an iffy repair or upgrade. A super consciencious dealer will still spend a lot more on a certified car as in one sense it's a used car mechanics license to steal.
