All the major stuff has been done and a new turbocharger just this year. That alone is a couple of grand. I'm not familar enough with the 00420 code but wonder if misfiring intermittently has something to do with it? I guess the big expense coming up is the timing belt replacement which is covered by SAAB but you really need to have them replace the tensioner and idler pulleys. So $500 or so for that. Odd there have been no DIC replacements? I thought there was a recall for the DIC's on 2001's? Not sure though? You might have a minor problem causing your codes and once fixed, you could have a real good car. I've got a 2002 Arc, same basic car and loving it.
