Yes they work, no I don't recommend you use it. I'm pretty sure the non OEM themostats aren't three-stage.
Basically, the cooling system in the Saab can be a little flaky to start with, and adding variables doesn't help. I know the effort to swap out a thermostat in the 900 isn't major, but you still have to drain the system down first and do a very careful job bleeding it afterwards. For the minimal extra $$ of the OEM unit, I think the savings in dollars of a cheaper unit isn't worth the risk of doing it twice. I've always had trouble with aftermarket thermostats in Saabs, and gave up on them years ago.
