Some of the jobs you mentioned are big ticket items. A new clutch, depending where you are can be in the thousands. Around the SF bay Area, 1200.00 for a new clutch is not unheard of. So, you have to consider if this mechanic special, + the labor required, would be cheaper than buying something else which is more mechanically sound. Of course, if your heart is set on a saab, this is a mute point. My 1996 has been a good solid performer, but the clutch is a weak spot (due for a change sooner rather than later, after all I got 85K miles on a LOT of stop and go traffic) and that will be a ton of money (upwards of 2000 when I am all done with it).
