engine related repairs

I have a 1999 Saab 9-5 with exactly 70K miles; Recently smoke started coming out of the back, and I found out my turbo was shot, the water pump needs replacing and the rear main seal is leaking oil like crazy. Apparently it's getting sucked up by the turbo, resulting in thick smoke. I just finished paying almost $6000 on it 6 months ago, and now I'm being told (instead of the turbo, rear main seal and water pump replacement) it makes sense just to get a new engine! I can't believe it: I have a 40K car that already needs an engine ( or at least several thousand dollars repair)after only 5 years. I have asked SAAB to help but they have refused. I think something is seriously wrong. It would behelpful to get some mechanical advice on this. Any insights? Thanks!
