I can't figure out how much rust is on your car (i.e. undercarriage - surface rust???), but that would make a huge difference in my decision - also the number of miles on the car. If the rear upper shock mounts are rusty, that is almost terminal (I had them repaired on a previous 9000).

Like JerseySaab, I do most of my own work, which makes the financial equation different from someone who doesn't. I recently had a new clutch put into my car (I have my limits) suing parts that I bought, which followed my recent installation of both mufflers, a fuel pump, and a crank position sensor. But my 1994 Aero 5-speed is still very nice, and drives even nicer with the new clutch, linkage coupler and other related parts; there really isn't anything I would want more except a little less road/wind noise.

Do you do any of your own work? The parts that you are talking about are fairly inexpensive, especially compared to buying a newer car. I don't know what your budget is, but perhaps you can do the repairs in stages that make sense, and eliminate the ones that aren't totally necessary, i.e. "was told it needs new shocks" by who, someone who sells shocks and based on what?
