You don't need to replace your brake till the brake start squeaking. SAAB brake pad has a wear indicator. It will start squeaking when the pad is worn down to the unsafe thickness. It says in the user's manual.
I have 4 mm thickness left on the front pads of my 99 9-3 at 30k miles. They still work fine.
The dealer probably recommands a replacement when they are down to 5 mm, but you don't have to.
It's hard to bring in the warratny clause argument since it's an wear and tear part, but it maybe worth trying. Let us know if you do success.
