The total in my case was about $5000. I was lucky, The car was low mileage. The car is a 95 and when the timing sprocket failed last Aug the car only had 48K miles on it. Note I said timing SPROCKET, the belt didn't fail in my case. Because this is unusual Saab paid 2/3 of the bill.
Check the service record for your car, if the belt was replaced at 90k contact Saab USA and ask if they will help you. They're pretty lenient with their "goodwill" repairs.
Just remember, they're not obligated to do anything for a car that is out of warranty, so be nice. You'll get a lot more if you ask instead of demand.
