Shocks and brake pads are wear items. Those wear out on any car, and fall under standard maintenance in my book. A split CV boot is usually due to something hitting it and splitting the rubber. Could happen to any car at any time. The PS leak could be as simple as re-seating the fittings.
Yeah, this doesn't make you feel any better, but if you've gone 80K and are just hitting maintenance items, you're doing pretty well. And that's true of any car, Saab or no.
I second jeff- brakes are one of the easiest things to do, and save you a bundle. It also familiarizes you with the car, teaches you what to look for, all things that'll save you money. Yes, brakes are critical items, but it's also very, very hard to screw them up if you take your time.
