1991 S 2.1L; bought new. Now has 184,000 miles. Do most my own work, so cost is parts (and tools if necessary) only.
Approximate Repair costs: Head gasket $100; Master cylinder: $75; vacuum lines: $30; radiator fan: $150; Misc. A/C repairs: $400; Ball joints: $150; Shocks: $150; Misc. items (belts, hoses, etc.): $100; Main pulley (incl. o-rings): $100; Fuel pump: $250
Total repair costs: $1,505 or $125/year or $10.45/month.
Estimated Maintenance: $2,300 or $191/year or $16/month (Oil, tires, wipers, brakes, coolant, fluids, plugs, wires, etc.)
Total Maintenance + repairs = $296/year; $24.68/month.
Although Saabs have the reputation of being expensive to own, I have found my '91 to be very inexpensive. Of course, I haven't been paying $500-600 for the 30,000 mile maintenance (dealer charge) and labor (head gasket would have been MUCH more expensive).
