Are you talking about US $ or Can $ ? A '92 9KT did...

not cost $48K US new, more like $30, no production Saab I know of cost a stick of US$48K.
So, given your $ (Can ??) figures, $10K (Can ??) in maintenance by a dealer isn't really that far out of line.
I have a '92 9K (no T) I tend to overmaintain but I put in about $7-8K US to keep it in the last 6 years, this amount includes EVERYTHING, i.e. tires, DI, A/C, belts, check-valves, battery, bulbs, ...etc., all parts and labor.
Many small electrical things I did myself, most major mechanical things, I left to my indy and the dealer.
The truth is, if I had included the small electrical things, I bet my cost would be about $10K :-O, like repairing the seat heater, buying new switches instead of putting in new bulbs.
My usual cost estimates for a 9K is about $250 - $300 (US) per month, this includes depreciation of the car, that means my initial cost of the car plus all maintenance cost minus my estimated price I can sell the car divide by number of months I have owned the car. This is my estimated out of pocket cost, not inflation adjusted, and not including my opportunity cost of my time in fixing little things.
My '95 Aero costs a bit more, about $320-350 and the '92 is a bit less, about $270 or so. If you have an older model, the cost is less, mostly depends on the estimated current market value, which is not much as we all know.
