"reputable" and "gets cars from insurance companies" (i.e. salvage title) are RARELY seen together...
As someone who has sold cars, including when our @#%$@#$ sales manager would buy known salvage title vehicles at auction), you are probably, again, IMHO, asking for trouble. Fire/smoke damage are bad. But at least you can _usually_ tell where the damage begins and ends - as with theft, unless the vehicle has been stripped and had to be rebuilt. Water damage is an entirely different game.
I'd avoid the temptation to pay less, and as the other poster said, caveat emptor. I'd also be VERY surprised if Saab honored the existing warranty, as the vehicle, depending on state, has probably been totalled.
