I have done this many times and I offer the following suggestions.
I don't know which trannies you have but you really don't want to tow with an auto Saab and if you have to tow an auto car you will have to either use a tow dolly or pull the axles and install 2 outer CV joints with the guts removed [ie just the outer spindle to keep the bearing in place]
I use a tow bar made by Valley attached to an old bumper inner beam[the aluminum part]You will have to pull your bumper[2 bolts] and remove your cover if you do not have access to an old bumper beam. I attach the tow bar brackets just inside the brackets that mount to the bumper. If your car has any rust you will have to check the frame end where the bumper bolts on to make sure it is stable.
The trailer hitch from Rigid hitch is my personal choice as the reciever is removable.
I have a set of trailer lights mounted on a roof rack but you can get by with a set of lights in the back window.
I raise the tire pressures to 40 on both the towed vehicle and on the tow car thi will greatly reduce the squishy feeling you get with a tow bar.
