The factory rebuilt longblock has been ordered and we should have our car back in 10-14 days.
Thanks for the input everyone... good points all.
I'll tell you, Saab has some good offers ($5k cash back on 2008 9-3's & 0% for 60 month financing) going on right now which were very tempting.
At the end of the day, although there were definitely cheaper ways out of this situation, my wife felt better about having her 9-3 back with a new engine (and warranty) versus spending the same on an '01 or '02 with a less certain 70k-80k engine in it.
The question of what the car is/was/will be worth is kind of moot to me, it was more a question of what do I get for $5,000-$7,000 that I'm being "forced" to spend. (a little simplistic, but you get my point.)
This definitely wouldn't be the right decision for everyone.
Now we'd better see 200k out of this car.
