What is Saab extended warranty worth?

Hi Rick,


When I bought my 9-5 a few weeks ago, I had the option to get a similar vehicle at a Saab dealer.

The car was a '01 9-5 with 44k on it.

If I didn't want to take the 6 year (only had about 18 months left) or 100K miles, he could knock $1200 off the price. So the warranty is basically $1200.

price for the car sounds a little on the high side..I bought a 2001 Aero with only 42,000 miles for under 15,000..I also bought the extended warranty for 1500.00..Make sure you buy the warranty TURBOS these days do not last..

Well just a turbo over here would be about £1000 GBP ($2000) fitted so putting a value on the warranty is difficult and depends on whether you feel the piece of mind is worth it I guess

Thanks you guys, A local dealer told me that to add the extended warranty from Saab (only to a vehicle with less than 50k) they charge 1295. Then if you buy it from a private party saab charges I think 50 bucks to transfer.

Anyway, I decided that I would add 500 to my offer to take into a ccount the remaining warranty. But the guy had tire/rim issues (two of the 2 piece BBS rims potentially bent) and would not deduct for the repairs so, I am passing.

Thanks for the feedback.

I can't tell you how happy and lucky/smart I feel to have purchased a certified pre-owned 2000 Saab 9-5. I don't know if this is what you mean by "extended warranty from Saab ", but if it is, it is well worth the extra cost. I paid about 1,000 more for my car with it, but it has saved me on the order of 2,500 so far, including a brand new (free) turbo.



My excellent experience with the local Saab dealer on all my visits has certainly been a pleasant surprise, and I will be purchasing another certified Saab in 2-3 years down the road. I doubt I would ever by a non-certified Saab, since repairs on these wonderful cars can get out of hand rather quickly.
