as Percy suggests. Be aware that while the Thule system is used on the 9k, you want the proprietary Saab racks--they are way better and quieter than what the Thule dealer sells you, and don't sit on the car's finish.
Often see the racks for under $100 (there may even be some on the TSN Parts ads section right now). Bike mounts for these proprietary racks can be had a deep discounts via talking with locals, reading the for sale ads at local bike shops and in the newspapers. Thule makes quite a variety of bike mounts, so you can choose what you want. I got some parts from an outfit called the Rack Shack or something on that order, after a web search. They are a chain with multiple stores and prices far below what the local surf shop wants for Thule.
I'm sold on them, hardly recognize my car without 'em!
ALSO: if you go with a hang-it-on-the-back deal, be sure that it isn't clinging to the rear window... I think that is inviting disaster!
