I wouldn't think rotors should be shot at 32,000 km. Pads? possibly.
It isn't unusual in todays autos to have to replace the pads and rotors much earlier than in the past. I'd be inclined to check with Saab about the rotors, if they really are worn enough to justify replacement.
In older Saabs, I've run up to 200,000 miles and never replaced a rotor unless a pad got worn to the point that it ground up the rotor (read a kid was driving it and didn't mention it was making a strange noise when braking until much too late).
