Replacing both engine freeze plugs on right side of engine is only a 1 hour job at a Saab shop.
What's of bigger concern is condition of the engine, cylinder head gasket and radiator.
Since you probably have the 2.1L engine which is prone to corrosion and failed head gaskets the best would be to take it to a good Saab shop and have a complete check up of those items.
Since you recentlty purchased the car, it would be good to know where you stand instead of being "nickel and dimed" to death for a long time.
If head gasket and radiator have been replaced recently, you are on the right track.
If not, it could be a good ide to take care of those things at the same time. It sure cost more, but using a tow truck once in awhile also rack up the costs.
