Based on what I'm reading here, it does sound like a crankshaft pully. I had this happen on two different C900s, one an '85 900, and the 2nd an '88 900SPG. The 1st time it took me by surprise and like you I suspected belts as the noise maker. Boy was I wrong. It went out and caused me no means of frustration and $$$. If I were you I'd have it looked at by a Knowledgeable Saab mechanic, either indy or at a dealer. In fact I'd get a pre-buy inspection. It may cost a few dollars, but the piece of mind is well worth it. One other thing to look for on those older C900s is the front A-Arm. It holds the wheel to the body. I've had two of them go out and it is a common occurance with that generation of Saab. Not expensive to replace, but a PITA when it happens.
