Brakes, clutch, shocks, radiator, hoses, belts, etc., etc.... Almost everything mentioned I would regard as regular consumables in a car that is almost 20 years old. Any car! How much will you spend to buy a "simple" (not) Accord, Camry, etc., and will you enjoy driving one of those as much as a SAAB? And, what's you life worth if you get hit in one?
People talk about SAABs falling apart and costing more money than other cars, but other than pinion bearings I just don't see it (and even pinion bearings can last over 200,000 miles). One of my co-workers had a 1986 900-S, he was the original owner and maintained it normally. When he finally traded it in, it had almost 400,000 miles on it - still on the original engine & transmission. Never had any problems to speak of, other than the expected consumables and a couple of clutches...
