To begin with, a Certified Pre-Owned Saab must satisfy a long list of requirements: the vehicle must be less than four years old, and it cannot have more than 60,000 miles on the odometer. And not only must the Saab be in excellent mechanical condition at the onset, but it must meet high visual standards as well.
Any of the following will immediately eliminate a vehicle from the Saab Certified program:
Over 60,000 miles
Older than 2005 model year
Warranty claim inquiry discrepancy
Unresolved problem found on Carfax Vehicle History Report
TMU (True Mileage Unknown) odometer reading
Frame, fire, and/or flood damage
From there, factory trained Saab technicians take over and exhaustively flight check and update the vehicle. Through a rigorous and extensive 117-point inspection/refurbishing process, each Saab is inspected, reconditioned, and detailed to ensure that it meets the highest possible standards - indeed, as high as your standards. Only then can it be Saab Certified.
