Great value, unmatched coverage..... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Certification worth it?, Ari ![]() |
When a Saab dealer purchases an additional 2 years and 50,000 miles of Certified warranty, 6 years and 100,000 miles total from when the car was new called the "in service date", the actual cost is only about 1/2 of what that kind of a policy would cost from a 1st tier warranty company. And the warranty comes from Saab itself, not from an independent or an affiliate, so it's good at any Saab dealer.
That's because of the rigorous inspection and reconditioning standards in addition to the vehicle history reporting requirements and Car Faxes, etc.required. In sum the cost of the bare warranty is a steal for the consumer. Overall this is offset by the amount the typical CPO car consumes in reconditioning to meet the standards.
The Saab CPO warranty is also an "exclusionary" warranty also known as a bumper to bumper warranty and has a zero deductible. So it covers all the items you mention, the only noteworthy exclusion being for the radio and OnStar. This is in contrast to a BMW CPO warranty with the same term. The BMW warranty is a "named component" warranty with a list of items and groups covered and very, very often what breaks just somehow isn't on the list or in the group as you mention. Also the BMW warranty has a $50 deductible for each repair.
