In considering the cost don't forget that whatever else you might buy, you're stuck paying sales tax for which you get nothing in return, and if it is a newer car than your Saab, it will then depreciate more. Additionally, you buy into whatever unknown problems the replacement car might have.
Consider the Saab already depreciated, so it looses no more value over time. As mentioned by the others with some diy, or reasonable indy help you might fix those issues for well under $1000. If so, you'd have the Saab with less than 8 yrs typical miles on it.
I've made the same type of calculation and decided to continue to fix items on my 99 Saab which has 238k miles.
