Fix the Saab. It is more fun to drive than the Mazda. Which car would you rather be in, if you were in an accident? I was in a 900 and someone was driving a Mazda at night without headlights (no lights on between the the ears either). There was an accident and my Saab needed a new bumper. The Mazda was totaled with a bent frame and the seats broke off from the mounts. This should be an easy decision.
