147K isn't bad. I have two 9-3s, a '99 at 174K and an '00 at 204K. Keep driving, and find a mechanic who understands the car and can keep it running. An electronic failure won't be unique to Saabs. Most cars have far more computers in them than our swedish iron.
Used parts are available on ebay, car-part and lots of places. New parts are pretty much available and should be because there are still a lot of Saab srunning around. And as others note there is a solid community of Saabheads to help you out. It will gradually become like lots of other orphan cars, where they are used less as daily drivers but will still be around, with a group of enthusiasts supporting each other.
I have four and it will trickle down to one or two as the kids migrate to something that can be fixed anywhere, and my wife goes to something else, but after nearly 30 years of Saabs I can't go without.
