Have you considered approaching a Saab dealer and having them buy it for you. I've been told that for the most part, the majority of Saab's sold at the auctions go to Saab dealers, except for the Saab convertibles which can sell on any type of car lot. If you already know ahead of time what these cars are selling for at auction (someone mentioned mid-high teens for 2000 Aeros in the NE area, which is about right) then you're in a position to speak to a dealer and tell them what your willing to pay. Just approach them straight up and say "I know you can buy a car with my given specs for the following amount of money. Buy it, prepare it for sale, and Saab certify the vehicle, extending the original factory warantee from the original 3yr/50K (for MY2000) to 6yr/100K." Ask them what they feel is a fair profit given the time/effort they'll have to invest to do that and have them add that to the final cost. When you do the math, you'll see that even an 2000 Aero selling on a Saab lot for $22K is giving most dealers better than 10% profit on the vehicle, which is already too much if you ask me but most dealers just won't sell that low because they'll always find someone who doesn't know the facts and will pay much more than that.
I've also read that any privately bought Saab can be taken to a Saab dealership and have the warantee extended for a cost but maybe someone else could verify that as I haven't heard/read anything definite about that.
