I'd put in a used speedometer, get one from saabsavior for about $35 or so for the whole cluster. You'll have to drop four screws to remove the cluster (disconnect connectors from behind the left front speaker, remove the grille).
I'm not sure if you can get the cluster out without pulling the steering wheel (and your car has airbag, right?) but even that isn't difficult.
The new speedo can be put into your existing cluster. I've even reset speedos to read what the one you took out reads.
You don't need to take out the entire dashboard...that's a major labor investment not to mention the cost of a new or rebuilt dashboard. You DON'T replace a dashboard at this time simply because the cluster is out. Replacing a dashboard is irrelevant to the cluster. You'd replace the dashboard because you wanted a crackfree dashboard.
