I would like an opinion: repair costs verses newer car

I have a Y2000 9-5 Aero Wagon with 140K miles. It is reaching the point where the turbo, water pump, possibly the timing chain cover, rear door latch, e-vap purge valve, probably parts of the exhaust system all have to be replaced. I have had pretty much every stock problem with this car described on this site. I like this car to drive, but hate the high cost of parts.
This is my third Saab, but the only one where I have driven well over 100K miles. I do not want to trade and buy a newer car (probably won't be a Saab though), but feel this makes more $$ sense.
Any one have an opinion on this?
Thanks, Nigel Nr Boston
