did any aero have a v6? I thought they were all hot 2.3L's?
to the original poster:
imho, there's a good deal more than $300 worth of value in parts there (wheels or seats alone), so the only reason to send it to a junkyard for that little is convenience (if you did send to a junkyard, might want to first yoink a front seat for an office chair as per bmillar). Anders' comments about time and space wrt parting out are sensible. Where it's an Aero, if you don't want to keep it, Ian's suggestion might be best. A potential buyer will look at it as "I can buy a decent running one for about $4-5k, so can I put in a new engine for the price you're asking?" (or less, eg diy) + does it make sense... is the car in nice condition? or maybe there's another 9-5 owner with space + time looking for a parts car...
If you are thinking of keeping it there are 2 sides. on the positive side, you've fixed many of the common issues so it might go for quite a while problem free. You can't buy a lot of car for $3k. on the downside, it is an older car + an early model year (not all the bugs were worked out by 2000)... I don't think you should necessarily have a bad opinion re Saab in general because a used early model year has been costly to maintain, but (if you didn't) I'd do a thorough pre-purchase inspection + records check on a new one as that can often help save $$ (though nothing in life is guaranteed)...
good luck!
James...
