I had a C900 and was faced with a crossroads like yous at about 170,000 miles - one year I spent about $3000 on it. I decided to keep it and finally gave it to a service station for parts at 333,000 miles when the gearbox gave out - it still had the original timing chain at that point.
Personally I'd keep the car and run it into the ground - fixing only the essential safety items. About 2 years ago I bought the NG900 but kept the old Saab as a "spare" car (it wasn't going to realise me any money if I sold it.) My wife and I used it when ours were being serviced, and my daugher "borrowed" it for 6 months at a time.
Think of it - new car payments at $400 a month - or occasional repairs on the old one??????
