I think I understand the situation. A couple of thoughts:
If you really like the Saab, it is to your economic advantage to fix it. Unless you can actually make money on the cash saved by leasing, that is almost always the most expensive choice.
Most of the issues you mention are neglected or expected wear items. Other than the oil leak the other items sound like piecemeal DIY projects. Check the SaabNet classifieds for some parts too.
If your commute is going to be <10 mikes, consider biking to work.
Good luck!
