Transmission woes...It's final!

Well, if you saw the post the other day, you read about our 90 900S which chose to put the trans into park while going about 60mph. It turned out to be the tranny; the final drive and the case survived. The local mechanic who diagnosed it for me found that second gear had exploded. The repair bill for a rebuild would be about a buck per metal filing found in the sump, I figure!
So it's dilemma time...Do I get another used Saab and start over with an unknown quantity or fix the one we got (with 175K miles, but structurally and mechanically sound)? Used ones seem hard to find for low bucks unless they're REAL used.
Opinions from readers?
Thanks for reading.
