Only change the auto out if you want to shift for yourself for the remainder of the time you own it. If you don't know the history of service for the auto that's in the car, get it to a mechanic ASAP and have them do a "major tranny service". This usually includes filter clean, fluid replace + additive, bands adjust and kick-down cable adjust. Should be about $250. When done right, it'll shift smooth and run easy.
If you do know the service history, and it's had fluid changes about every 30k or so, you should be OK until the tranny reaches the end of it's service life, usually around 150k - 200k. Keep getting new fluid into it every 10k - 15k. Ride easy on it with the knowledge that those before you probably have not. Rebuilt autos should give you another 100k miles easy now that you know how to care for them.
Now, if this Saab must be your sports car, then the 5 speed gives you more options for performamce and long life. The $$$ required for either the conversion or the replacement run about the same. It's your choice.
