Take a look on craigslist in your area to see how much a 2000 9-5 is actually worth. I think you'll be shocked at how little value your car actually has. I've been trying to sell my 1999 9-5 for a few months now at $2000, and haven't gotten any serious takers. I don't think you'll recoup the money you spend fixing the turbocharger. It will cost you around $500 for a rebuilt one, ( a new one is about $900), and it will be about 3-4 hours of labor to install. Do you really want to spend near 1k on a car you may only get 1k in trade for? Just sell it broken, trade it in as-is, or better yet donate it to a worthy charity. No matter what you do, there isn't much value in it, broken or fixed.
