| I had 3 Saabs (2001 9-3 base, 2001 9-5 Aero, and a 2002 9-3 SE). They are not that bad. The 9-5 Aero is the best. I am still driving the 9-3SE. I drove the newer 9-3 and 9-5 but I still like the older Saab. Too bad. I think I probably trade in the Saab for a Bimmer. | |

If I buy a CPO loaner from the dealer, how long will the CPO warranty last? There is no original delivery date because nobody actually bought the vehicle. Is there a package that I can buy to extend the "free" maintenance beyond the original 4-year warranty period? Thanks.

Replying to: r34 (Jun 30, 2008 7:00 pm) You can buy an extension to the maintenance program to match the CPO limits... Figure around $1500..

Replying to: r34 (Jul 01, 2008 7:48 am) Brake job? A brake job on my CR-V with new rotors is about $600.. Multiply that by at least 1.5 for a BMW.. Inspection II at 60K miles? Figure $600-$800 for that.. Oil service at 75K? $125, most likely.. Inspection I at 90K? Another $300.. If the car weren't CPO, I wouldn't buy the extended maintenance, as that would give you the option to go independent for your service... but, if your warranty is with the dealer, and you'll put 90K on the car, then I'd buy the maintenance pkg, as well.. It's a tough choice, though... $1500 is a lot.. I'm not sure I'm right.. just my opinion.. regards

Replying to: kyfdx (Jul 01, 2008 9:54 am) True enough .Inspection II at 60K miles? Figure $600-$800 for that... Swope only charged $424(including $42 the M1 0W-40 I provided). That price also included a brake fluid flush and repairing curb rash on the LF wheel. Oil service at 75K? $125, most likely... It could be less than $100- and under $55 if you spend 0.5 hours doing it yourself. Inspection I at 90K? Another $300... It could be under $250, depending on the car. I still think I'd self-insure rather than fork over $1500. |

Replying to: roadburner (Jul 01, 2008 10:26 am) So seeing as the service package is fixed price, it's probably a good deal if the dealer you will be using is expensive. |
