If you enjoy driving it, why not keep it for longer highway trips which are not very hard on the car, and defer all but basic maintenance? If you can get 10-20K more miles out of it there will be that many fewer miles on your newer car, which will save it from depreciating as much. That is my plan with my 01 LPT with 120K on it. I have a newer 04 Arc that is my daily driver but the 01 is still very comfortable on the highway.
Once you make the decision to buy or keep one of these cars past 120K you are basically giving up the hope of any reasonable resale value as anyone but a die-hard SAAB enthusiast wouldn't take a chance on a high-mileage used SAAB. Especially if they use the internet and see the number of potential problems.
