Dave,
The DI Cassette is one of many major parts that will fail on the 9-5 you are looking at. The others are the turbo, which will need to be replaced every 60K miles or so for $1,200.00. I have already replaced 3 of them. If I had known that the "heart and soul" part of these cars was such a poor design I would have never gone with 2 of them.
SAAB has know about the DIC and turbo starting in 1999 and has done nothing to help the owners of these cars with a recall or a redesign of these defective parts. Beware because SAAB will be happy to take your money when (not if) these fail and leave you high and dry even though SAAB knows full well that they have provided their customers with a known defect.
My wife had the DI fail while getting on to Rt 495 north of Boston with a 4 month old baby in the back seat. All power from the engine was lost and to this day I thank god there was not heavy traffic at the time and she was able to pull over to the breakdown lane.
The other things you will have to replace are going to be the SID when the pixles start to fail. The idler pulleys, heater box, sunroof are a few of the other things you will see fail if you keep the 9-5 as long as you have kept the Toyotas.
