looking for advice on used/cpo

My wife and I are looking for another car. We've loved to drive our 9-5 but the maintenance is killing us- we keep thinking well that's the last big item but something new keeps popping up. (new dic, new turbo, new shocks, etc., basically whenever I read about a problem on saabnet we end up with it.) we're averaging about 250/month on maintenance for the past year or so, even with saab goodwill on half the turbo and shocks, free dealer loaners, etc.
Plus after our breakdown on vacation this weekend (and the fact that the dealer can't figure out why- they say it runs great now) I'm just afraid for her to drive it. (http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/9-5/index.html?bID=98683)
We're almost too skittish to go with another saab, even tho I've driven a saab for 16 years with very little trouble til now, but are still thinking maybe certified pre-owned.
Are there big items that the cpo plan/warranty doesn't cover? Should the cpo really give us better peace of mind?
I keep a spreadsheet that calculates how much we average per month on our cars-- my 900 takes about $45. How much do you guys spend on maintenance?
Thanks a lot for any thoughts/suggestions.
Ron
