This saab engine has a greater potential for sludge than other engines, including other saab engines.
It sounds like the dealer found some sludge damage.
Who knows if they got it all or not. I wouldn't risk it myself, but I couldn't afford to lose the gamble.
There's a nonzero chance that you could be covered by a 100k saab offer to cover engine damage due to sludge, but I'm guessing that there aren't any records showing that the oil was changed every 5k miles, meaning that they won't actually cover it.
Search for sludge here for more info.
