You mention both the Turbo X (2008, Black Turbo homage, XWD, LSD, big front brakes, special trim and lowered suspension) and looking at 93X posts. They are two different models. The 93X was a last hurrah foray into "crossover" country. It didn't have the special trim, so body parts should be more standard. Notably, they raised the suspension -- the opposite of the Turbo X. I don't think either was more than an inch. In any event, I have not yet had particularly serious parts availability issues. I replaced a hose via eEuroparts and a coolant expansion tank cap via GenuineSaab, both Saabnet advertisers. The cap came with Opel/Vauxhall on it. Indy mechanic in Chicago doesn't stock some things, but didn't indicate any worries on availability. (It took less time for me to replace that hose than to drive to the shop) When someone suggested I get rid of the Saab I responded "It's only the GM parts that fail." I expect a lot of the XWD parts are on Cadillacs. Many years ago I used to work for an import car shop in Iowa City!
