and get a great toolkit, manuals, overalls, ramps, jack and stands, etc, and DIY. unlikely turbo failing. Drive shafts are about $75 these days, so need to bother with the boots. Some of the 9000's had the outer shaft loctited into the hubs, you would need to find out first. Even as a complete amateur, you could change shafts, plug any vacuum lines back on, or ideally replace hoses. You could also do the radiator (cost $150 or so), which would give a coolant change as well (probably well overdue). Get to know the car some, and in no time you will having all kinds of fun, for little money. In my mind, it is the only way to own an older SAAB. There is a whole forum just for 9000's full of folks wanting to help you. Good luck
