Good move Jeff! You'll love the 9-5.
I've been down a similar Saab road... 96's, then 99s, then 900s, then a 9000. The 9000, as you say, broke something every day. There seemed to be constant $400 repairs, until the point where I figured I had spent over $2000 in six months (and I did all the work myself) and was driving to a Saturn dealer to unload the car when the timing chain broke. That was it... I sold it for the body and walked away.
But the 9-5 is a different beast. It has its weak points (DIC and ACC), but otherwise it is a 'get in, start up, drive' type of car with excellent driving dynamics. You'll really love it!
