If its a Saab 9000 you must be prepared to pay to play ( as you likely already know)
But a fun game it is! and a 1997 is free of tcs and is considered by many to be one of the best years
Yes it does sound like it needs a DI
Floaty off axis steering could be that a nut under the dash needs to be tightened ( thats what mine was with only 60K) I am guessing that the rest of the steering components may be worn as well at that milage.
As for the timing chain ? ... I have no previous experience but $600 sounds reasonable for a new one.
At 131K I would take my chances on the chain as many get many more miles than this on origianl chains... and throw in a used lower milage motor if it eventually broke??
get a tranny flush asap
or hold out for a lower milage CS to pop up for about the same $
