Scheduled Maintenance Program
All 2003 Saab Models* are covered under the
Saab No Charge Scheduled Maintenance Program for 3 years or
36.000 miles, whichever comes first, provided you have your
Saab serviced at an authorized Saab dealer in the United States.
* This program applies to all 2003 Saab models
initially sold in the US and covers all factory-recommended
scheduled maintenance (excluding wear and tear items) for
the above period, as outlined in the Warranties and Service
Record Booklet. This program is associated with this particular
vehicle, regardless of owner. This program is not transferable
to another vehicle. The Saab No Charge Scheduled Maintenance

time without notice.

- Seat belt and supplemental restraint system coverage for

*Whichever comes first. See your dealer for

Saab cars are renowned for their outstanding
longevity and durability. Your Certified Pre-Owned Saab includes
one of the industry's most encompassing warranty packages.
First, the remaining balance of the factory 4-year/50,000
mile (whichever comes first) original new-car limited warranty
automatically transfers to the new owner. Also transferring
to the new owner is the balance of the factory 6-year/unlimited
mile new-car corrosion protection limited warranty.
In addition, your Certified Pre-Owned Saab qualifies
for a comprehensive Saab Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty*,
up to 72 months/100,000 miles (whichever comes first) from
original in-service date, which provides coverage that goes
into effect after the original factory warranty has expired.
This coverage is fully backed by Saab Cars USA, Inc.
And just like a new Saab, all Certified Pre-Owned
cars include a final element of reassurance: a comprehensive
Roadside Assistance program. Should you experience car trouble,
help is just a phone call away. Saab's much heralded Roadside
Assistance program includes full 24 hour coverage, 365 days
a year, anywhere in the United States. And best of all, it's
yours at no additional charge for the duration of the warranty.
In the unlikely event that you need to use it, you can count
on assistance with changing a flat tire, a jump-start, fuel
delivery, towing - even locksmithing service.
* Exclusions from the original factory warranty
apply. See your retailer for details. Certified Pre-Owned
Limited Warranty period commences from the original In-Service
date and lasts 6 years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs
first. Items excluded from coverage under this Limited Warranty
are listed below. Coverage terminates upon failure to satisfy
care and service requirements as described in manufacturer's
original limited warranty. Refer to the original limited warranty
for other limitations. Exclusions include but not limited
to minor adjustments, wiper blades, drive belts, brake pads
and rotors, clutch discs, telematics, audio equipment, batteries,
tires and all other exclusions as described in the original
limited warranty.
It's a Saab . . . not merely pre-owned, but
"tried and true."
Saab ownership provides the experience of driving
one of the finest cars in the world, offering luxury, performance,
safety and levels of durability that are legendary the world
over. Isn't it time you drove a Saab too?
A new Saab isn't always affordable for everyone.
Now there is an alternative - the Saab Certified Pre-Owned
program.
A Saab Certified Pre-Owned vehicle offers many
of the same advantages of a new Saab - at significant savings
over a similar new model. A great way to drive an incredibly
durable car that's not so much pre-owned as "tried and true."
And at Saab, a top priority is customer satisfaction.
You can count on superior service from the moment you approach
a Saab retailer and throughout your entire ownership experience.
*The Saab Certified Pre-Owned limited warranty period commences
at the time of sale of a Certified Pre-Owned Saab or upon
expiration of the applicable Saab New Vehicle Limited Warranty,
whichever occurs later. This Saab Certified Pre-Owned Limited
Warranty expires 6 years or 100,000 miles from the original
in-service date, whichever occurs first. Call 1 800 SAAB USA
for important details and exclusions of the Saab Certified
Pre-Owned Limited Warranty Program.
Certified Pre-owned
Only the best pre-owned Saabs are eligible to
be Certified. 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 1999 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 110-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.
