Why waste money on "certified'

Sir - why pay for certified if the new car bumper to bumper warranty is still in effect? Example: I am selling my 2001 Aero, 5-spd, 22k miles, excellent condition (brakes have > 3/4 pad left and original tires easily have 10-15k left on them) for $23,500, which is below the Kelly Black Book "clean value". In my opinion, this car does not need "certification" to be marketable. I have two friends in the dealership business. Both advise me that certification programs are big money makers for them, as the cost of tires, brake pads, little stuff, is much less than the dealer markup charged for "certification". You could argue that you get an extended warranty, but again, the cost of repairing or replacing a part is always less than buying extended warranties to begin with.
Now the pitch: Buy my car! It is on Saabnet classifieds, I'm the guy in Orlando.
