alone with all the bushings in labor may run well over $2k. better spread that out a few years! subframe bushings may be fine. TON of labor time I believe.
save $$ these are very easy DIY:
the tranny and RH mounts
sway bar links
thermo and sensor (on I4. you have 4 or 6cyl?)
tranny fluid just drain & refil, drive a day, repeat 2-3 times every 30k. I just drain/refill once every 10k.
re idling, could have vacuum or intake leak somewhere?
you had timing belt (V6 only) at 60k or serp belt? serp belt is super easy DIY for 120k next time.
if you plan on keeping for LONG time, try to do as much of the easier DIY yourself. otherwise Saab will put you in the poor house IMO. my 1999 is at 160k now.
good luck. LONG list.
