I had the sludge problem in my 99 SE. I bought the car used at 36K. Since that time I've kept all the oil changes to around 3k. I tracked down all the other changes through the selling dealer. I was able to prove the car had all the oil changes per the required maintenance schedule. Mine actually had 17 oil changes by 69k. Saab paid for a new short block and labor. I think it was about $6,000. However they would not spend another $100 for a rental.
Take your time, get you service history, make sure you were within the required maintenance and give them hell.
good luck-mike
